It's a very good thing that Scar's here to be steady. Because at what Wrath says, it's all Envy can do not to jump back to his feet or shout his own immediate denial that what Dante had done to Gluttony was because of Wrath at all. Genuine, but not exactly ideal for things being calm.
As it is, his surprise is clear on his face as he freezes to avoid an outburst. Blaming Wrath for that hadn't been something he'd considered even at his worst. Even later on in this world when he had still been blaming Wrath for Lust.
He's grateful that Scar can talk while he recovers. And for what he says.
When he trusts himself to talk again, it's accompanied by lifting his hand to rest on Wrath's nearest shoulder, although it winds up being his automail one. The gesture is still there. He's still quietly careful when he talks, but emphatic.
"It wasn't your fault. You weren't...you didn't see it happen. She didn't even try to order him herself, after he didn't listen to me," he can't help shuddering, but this is more important than his own guilt or fear, "She was going to do it anyway. You didn't cause anything."
