I strongly disagree because who the hell would be happy in this situation? Mika just loves sacrificing himself. He always keeps thinking that he has to do things by himself he always has to throw himself into danger for Yuichiro and that is fully understandable but Mika is so fuckin selfless it's annoying. Ofcourse he would be happy knowing that Yuichiro is okay but that makes me even more mad because he's not thinking of himself. Does it matter if someone strongly disagrees where we can observe in the manga that Mika was content knowing that Yu would be all right, and then genuinely appearing happy as he said he loved him? Mika was clearly happy.

It's all well and good saying that Mika should not be so selfless, and in fact he applies that to others since it's largely Yu he looks after. Mika would never let his family come to harm and it's not just empty words, he can deliver on his promises. Of course he should think of himself, but as we see he will do anything for who he loves, and who wouldn't behave in that manner considering that?

Naturally they can be bittersweet tears, not genuine happiness in that he doesn't want to leave Yu, just a lesser happiness in that Mika assumes Yu would be fine.
