[Sousei's anger inspires Tenka's own need to get defensive. People have doubted Shirasu to his face before, that's nothing new. But before, even when his own family doctor who had been with him for years, thought to talk badly about Shirasu, Tenka's answer was the same.
If people said anymore, he would get mad. Because Shirasu was definitely his friend.
.... what does he say now?]
He has to have his reasons. [Whatever those reasons may be and Tenka's not even sure what could happen to possibly excuse treating Soramaru badly but-] I'll talk to him when we go home.
[They're family.
When Tenka didn't have anyone - when he'd separated from the Yamainu and Kiiko and Sousei - he'd always had Shirasu. For ten years, he had Shirasu. Every single secret and doubt and horrible traumatic memory - he'd only shared them with Shirasu.]
