[Dammit, Heisuke! Here he is trying to explain what had gone wrong and he gets it all thrown back in his face. He can't hold it in and lets out a bark of laughter at the incredulity of it all.]

You saw my body, not me! I may not be that great of a liar, but if I was gonna bullshit you, do you really think I'd come up with something that ridiculous?

[He laughs again, still unable to find any real humor in the situation, and roughly slips a hand through his hair.]

The only why I can answer is why I didn't stop it all from happening in the first place and the only answer I've got is that I wasn't strong enough. Or I wasn't paying enough attention to this world around me. Or just that I'm not some perfect hero that you and Shinpachi seem to think I am half the time.
