[ Yuri wants to argue with him, wants to interrupt him and tell him that, yes, Yuri is a killer. He's accepted this about himself. He's killed, and he'll kill again, and maybe it's for a reason, but that doesn't mean he isn't one.

But the tone of Diluc's voice doesn't let him say any of that. Diluc is saying that they're the same, that he understands, and maybe Yuri does kill to protect others, but he still kills. He hurts himself by doing things so others don't have to, but it doesn't change what he's done.

Maybe Diluc is the same. He watches his friend, forcing himself to stay silent, to listen to those quiet words. He isn't quite as eloquent as Diluc, not one for beautiful words. He grips Diluc's arm ]

You would have done the same thing. It's not your fault, man. That... it got to a lot of people. Not just you.

[ He should respond to what Diluc said about him, but he can't quite make himself ]

You know, you have friends in me and Flynn. If you feel something like that coming on again, or you just feel like you need some company, our door's open. I think this place is gonna come for us when we're alone.

[ So: the more of them there are, banding together, supporting one another, the better. ]
