"I'm not insulting you! I'm not-- I just don't get you! I thought you cared about Haruto!" He grits his teeth so hard that they crackle, and he pulls on his hair, turning away, breathing heavy.

"Y-you're not gonna change my mind, no." His eyes prick, but he definitely doesn't want to cry in front of her. He's so mad. "Oriko, you're just. You're wrong."

He turns back to her, and lays his hand on her shoulder. "I dunno what about... what happened to make you think that's right." His eyes are dark with anger and frustration and sadness. "But I'm gonna fix this. You'll see." He lets go, not sure if he can hold onto her without injuring her any longer. He's so tense... He's so miserable.

"I'm gonna go. Okay? I'll- We'll be back."
