.. y'know. i think, if you prove that them words aren't empty, you'll be able to talk to them again too. i'm sure they see what i see still. sometimes the hurt is just too big for folks to see past it right away. doesn't mean they think you ain't got good in you.—

— -he goes silent for a moment, stares at him intently before he reaches up, claws only gently brushing kirishima's cheek. there's no malicious intent. not today. there's something about that face. it's as if he's trying to commit it all to memory.- i'll be alright. somehow.

-he crouches slowly, silent as he hears him out. huh. who'd have thought the great red riot would go down a path like that? he stays there for a moment.- d'you remember the conversation we had when ya first saw me? —

— but.. i do still know that it's playing judge, jury and executioner. that ain't supposed to be up to us, i think. playin' god, even. those who do that, regardless of the reason, are equally criminal. i don't think you're bad though. try the program.—

— backlash or not, might show those guys you're tryin' more than just words that could be empty for all they know would. -he claps him on the back then, standing up slowly and stretching out.-
