I guess near the end I was just used to hearing hurtful things like that. He's really not a bad person, but he was very sharp with his words when he believed something.
[ Something he's sure Genya of all people can understand. ]
The words weren't half as bad as him walking away after.
[Not just from Sanemi, either. Genya knows he acts the same at times.]
Look, take it from the guy who screwed up and went and released all the spirits around here last month. [He huffs. Don't ask.] The real ones? They care. They're keepin' an eye out on us, and they want us to be okay.
Hell, even Death seems to care, too. Weird as it is.
[After shaking his head, Genya reaches out and places a hand on Muichiro's shoulder.]
That fucker in the forest doesn't know the first thing about the people here. Whatever you saw was just a stupid ass illusion. No one here, at least, is gonna walk away from you.
Yeah. They're not that bad, really. You'd think she'd be all scary and stuff but... she was pretty nice to me. Forgiving, for me screwing everything up.
[Genya is pretty steadfast in the beliefs that Himejima has instilled in him, but he can feel himself opening up to whatever pantheon is going on here. Or at least, to one member of that group.
Anyway... He finds himself huffing at Muichiro's response.]
Nuh uh. That's not enough. You gotta promise. Otherwise I'll have to kick your ass.

Take it from a brother myself. I'd do anything to save Sanemi. And even if it was the stupidest thing in the world, I wouldn't hold it against him.
You don't do that to family.

[ He's not entirely sure what he means by that, but he assumes its a similar situation to the forest wanting them dead.
He sighs softly, raising a hand to rest over Genya's. ]
I'll try to remember that.
