Makoto knew how rich and high-tech Hopes Peak Academy is for each room to be sound proof. It seems the only reason anyone was able to hear his declaration is because someone left the door open.

Wait a sec

That's when he start to question.
-Why did Mikan want him in here?

He was only trying to ask a single question. Is she afraid he was going to do something to her? Then why bring him in here where no can hear her cries for help..... unfortunately for him, he wasn't aware that Mikan brought him in here hoping that he would do something to her. She has been putting her fingers together waiting for Makoto to get mad at her for getting punched earlier. However, what he said totally shatter any expectation she had.

Makoto: Did you also have something you wanted to say to me

Mikan: Huh?

Makoto: Honestly, when you asked me to come in here. I was worried that you thought I was gonna hurt you, and you chose for us to come in here to not inconvenience anyone

Mikan: Ummmm

Makoto: If there's something you need me to do, or if there's something you wanted to say, then you tell me. *Smiles brightly*

Mikan:......I'm

Makoto: ??? I'm wh-

Mikan: I'M SO SORRY

Makoto: Huh?

Mikan: IT'S MY FAULT YOU GOT PUNCHED EARLIER, even when you were just trying to defend me. *Looks at him with a panicky expression* So I ask you to come in here. To let out all the aggression you held by being with me.

Makoto: Wait ho-

Mikan: *Smiles innocently* But I know Naegi wouldn't hurt anyone, which is why I can be your outlet for anything else you might hold in

Makoto: Outlet?

This is the part where Mikan told Makoto about all her fantasies of ways Makoto can return the favor.  Unfortunately for Makoto, he was able to imagine every single one of those outcomes. It was honestly terrifying to him; what did she have to go through for her to say these things with a genuine smile. He knows she get bullied, but didn't know it went so far to where she treated it like a normal occurrence.

"No matter what.... I'll reach my hand to you." Makoto was serious as he thought this. He might not understand how she feels, but he was determined to find out

Mikan: I'm great at initiating animals especially pigs, but I can try my best to be a dog; I can work hard, I can be of use to you if you let me. So.... please don't leave me

Makoto: *Breaths*

Mikan: *Tears up* Naegi... I'M SORRY I SHOULD HAVE JUST LET YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU WANTED ME TO DO. I'M SORRY TO BE SUCH A USELESS PIG. I'M-

Makoto: *Put a finger over his mouth*

Mikan: *Still teary eyes, but kept quiet*

Makoto:.....

Mikan:......

Makoto: Do you need more time calming down

Mikan: N-No

Makoto: I guess I should tell you why I was looking for you?

Mikan: *Close her eyes and shut them tight preparing for anything bad to come her way*

Makoto: Tsumiki, please, there's no reason to be scared of me.... please open your eyes

Mikan: I.... can't
