[ It's a good question. Especially when Daniel knows sometimes you just truly can't tell.
(He thinks about Terry Silver, of course. Always Terry Silver. With his lies and manipulations, getting Daniel right where he wanted to get him, and Daniel being too stupid to see through it until it was already far too late.
He pushes the thought all the way to the back of his mind before it threatens to make him feel sick.) ]
It can be hard to make sure. There isn't really one specific way. [ Daniel looks quite apologetic for conveying that bad news, even if it's just a fact..
But he refuses to leave it at that either. No kid should suffer through what he himself had. ]
But if you ever get a strange feeling about someone, even if it's just an inkling.. Please make sure to tell someone, alright? [ Daniel's voice is so earnest as he says it. Like this is a request he feels so passionately about. ] Tell Shigeo, or one of your other friends, or any adult you trust. If you don't know who to tell, you can always talk with the others here at the dojo. With Robby, if you feel comfortable with him.
[ Look, Daniel has just been seeing Mob and Robby a lot together, and he's kind of convinced Robby is slowly growing to become the dojo's designated Big Bro figure at this point, even if he doesn't know if he's close with Sunny too. ]
.. and of course you can always tell me too. I'll always listen. Even if you aren't sure about your doubts, it's always better to talk about them than to keep everything to yourself. [ Before it all spirals out of control. ]
