[ bad. he knows what panic feels like, with an unfortunate sort of clarity - ichiro's not yin yu great at keeping that shit together, because all he is is angry (that's all he's ever really been - your first reaction was violence, and that tells me you have potential) but he's gonna try.
he grabs her hand away from her notebook, and wraps his around it, and squeezes it. ]
Stop. [ fiercely, quietly - it's pained, too, not just angry. almost a plead. ] You didn't take her. You didn't do anything but what any of us would've done, and you - should've doesn't do shit. We should've done a lot of things.
This is what this stupid fucking place wants. [ it wants them to be miserable, to hurt, to hate, to turn on each other, themselves. ] Why would it make people kill each other like that otherwise? You can't - you can't tell me you think she wanted to kill people. You know she didn't.
[she - at least, has some sort of way to handle it, these days. she's not the same kid she was. anger is not always her instinctive response anymore. sometimes it is. but. she's seen a lot more and dealt with a lot more, and she's way more equipped to take this and try and face it.
he takes her hand, and she drags in another breath, sharp and painful.]
No - no. I know. [because she does. she does know.] I know she didn't want to. Nobody wants to.
[breathe, she tells herself.]
She said - to save people. She said it was to save people, from this world.
[ he squeezes her hand. it's probably a little bit too tight, but it's helping ground him, too. helping push past the fury that was threatening to rise back up again, helping to keep him level headed.
nobody wants to. he agrees. ]
...and that answer was enough to get punishment. [ which means... it meant something.
what it means, he has no fucking idea. he's not sure if he has the emotional capacity to even try and think about it right now. it's a lot. ]
[ the fierceness returns with that, too. emphatic. he reaches over with his other hand and covers hers with that, too, cupping it. ] Yeah, fuck that. We're gonna bring her and the rest of em back, and give whoever the fuck runs this place an ass kicking.

but god damn, they're gonna try. ]
