...Oi. You can insult me all you want, but not him. Malik's suffered more than you can imagine to get where he is. A despair lasting for over three thousand years.

[...truthfully, he didn't give a shit about Malik's tragic past, but he still didn't appreciate him being talked down like that.]

If anyone's an idiot here, it's the one that's refusing to accept anything that doesn't fit into his narrow belief system. Even if you're scared... it's not a very adult way to handle problems.

[And with that, he's gone, leaving Ryou blinking in confusion.]
