[It hurts seeing Yu and hearing him like this, knowing full well that the real Yu had to have struggled with these issues as well.

Running out of the apartment as he had done meant he was armed only with his Evoker, but Minato comes closer still with a hand held out to the Yu he knows- Protective, smart, hardworking, funny and above all not so confident of himself.]

You're not pathetic. [He shakes his head firmly, as if to lend emphasis to his words.] I walked away because there was nothing more I could do...and I left because I didn't deserve you, after everything that's happened. [He can acknowledge at least that being questioned about his death was sort of uncalled for, but it doesn't change the fact that he had still been lying about too much and for too long to call what he had with Yu a proper relationship.]
