I always planned to use it for this, no matter who it was. The way these executions are set up are so cruel. Last week, Viridian-san had to be hurt, and Yona-san had to hurt him. But this week, I thought I could do something to help.
I didn't expect him to attack Ruler-san. But it's something I should have considered he might do. I never. . . I would never have wanted her to get hurt because of a decision I made.
I can't say I expected it but I'm also not really that surprised he did. That kid... He was clearly hurtin' more than he let any of us know. People who've been hurt... can be a lot more willing to bite back and hurt others ta survive.

Yer instinct ain't wrong, but maybe run yer idea by someone you trust next time, before ya do it?
[That is. . . really good advice, so he looks up at him, relieved, and nods.]
I will! You're right - I've only recently started learning how to understand others. So even if I want to be able to make decisions on my own, I should still ask for advice.
[He's so glad Mob is a receptive child unlike some other, more stubborn children.]
Right. That's what us adults're here for, after all. Even if we make mistakes ourselves sometimes too. [Like everyone forgetting to check Kano's shoes for knives....]
There's lots of types of heroes, Mob! You've got yer brave and gallant knightly types, sure, but there's also the cool, mysterious guy, who swoops in at the last minute! He doesn't have ta be brave, he's just gotta have good timing.

I'm guessing you've already been scolded?
[Please say yes he doesn't want to do it.]
no subject
[He considers that for a second.]
No. A few people got angry with me, but they didn't say anything.
[And that was definitely the most bewildering part of it. Several people he's looked up to very much simply - getting angry and walking away.]
Please. You should say what you feel.

Well. I guess I wanna hear what exactly yer thought process was first?

[He'll sit down, too.]

But I also didn't want Kano-san to hurt, either.
