[The tears are a definite confirmation of Mion's thoughts. At the very least - they're a sign that something is wrong.
Not that she didn't have her suspicions from the very beginning.
But those suspicions of hers aren't out of malice. She's just simply concerned about her friends. How can she not be, when she's vaguely aware that they might remember things that she doesn't?
That they might remember much sadder times, of tragedy, of pain--]
It's okay, Satoko. Whatever you're sorry for...
[Is this the right thing to say?
She doesn't even know, really, what Satoko is even apologizing for. Maybe she's even wrong for doing so. But if she doesn't do it now, then when?]
I forgive you. So it's fine. Really. The others are here too, you know? Kei-chan, Rika-chan, Rena... even silly Shion.
[Satoko's nee-nee, she subtly implies but doesn't say aloud.]
