Overall, Chiron cared about Hikaru: she was very energetic and caring towards others, worked hard to look out for the needs of the entire group, and had a very Protag sense of justice that Chiron is used to seeing since he's a Heroic Spirit and all. So it struck him as a shame that it just wasn't the type of viewpoint he thought would work out in a reality where they had to make sacrifices, even if he often could see where she was coming from. Again, he's a Heroic Spirit, and knows plenty of heroes that would have essentially gone "nah fuck this shit in particular, we friendship our way out of this or not at all."

Though on occasion he did wonder how he came off to her, as Chiron is very caring himself but also sees himself as stern and set in his ways, not the type to bow to anyone else's thought process unless they can really carry their argument through. The couple of times she challenged him, he respected her viewpoints, but also just refused to budge and thus wondered if he was truly a good fit for her in terms of being her "Sensei". For Chiron, it's more important that he helps to guide people in the way they need to be guided, and if he's not the person for the job, he will leave it to others. So upon seeing that Hikaru had others that cared for her, he did become a little more hands-off as the weeks went by, even if her death still cut him and he was just hoping she died easily and without pain.

I'm still so mad I didn't get to memshare with Chiron before she died, because there were parts of her canon that I had wanted him to see so that she could get advice from a "I'm someone that's been around for a really long time" point of view... the fact that he didn't budge never bothered her, though, and I think one of her biggest regrets was not learning more about his perspective and being able to take wisdom from it, because especially in her point in canon she has already accumulated regret because of ignorance that went beyond her reach. She has her ideals and still a pretty naively open way of how she chooses to view the world and what she wants, but she is far more open to things than she lets on. Him challenging her and making her think through why he said what he said was really important. It's why she still called him Sensei even though they drew apart those last couple weeks due to you and I passing each other like ships in the night oocly/hikaru dying, because a teacher is a teacher and she felt that she could learn a lot from getting to know him. Rip.
