I know it was sincere for him which is why Aqua is so confused and conflicted. She has to push to keep herself in check that things aren't the same, that even though he is being sincere that it doesn't mean it is completely for her. She doesn't trust him but the problem is that deep down she wishes things weren't this way and that she could trust him. It makes it hard for her not to revert back to maybe a simpler time when she would have hugged him or been close but now that they are on different sides that is impossible.
