[Why is Souji... like this... Just-- why. Not that Kashuu isn't perfectly well-equipped to deal with punkassery of this nature, at least. He could even handle lashing out, if it ever came, because he's just a damage sponge and stubborn enough to stick by people even when they don't want him there.

But for now, he just gives that poor kid a reassuring look... He likes this one, okay. This one can stay forever because he's worried about Souji.]

Mmmhm! I'm basically immune so I'll make sure to look out for him until he's feeling better and can play with you guys again, okay?

[See, Souji, that's how you talk to children?! WHY DID MURDER HAVE TO BE INVOLVED AT ALL.]
