Like he's some- some pitiable wretch, like he's fragile, and needs to be handled with care. Like he understands anything at all, like he knows what Kou wants, what he needs. Like he isn't spitting on Goro's grave by using his image to lure Kou here, like he isn't keeping Kou fucking prisoner- and for what? To pretend like he understands? To wave his faux compassion in Kou's face? To act like he has all the answers?
"I don't need shit from you!"
Kou snarls again as Maruki gets closer, standing his ground. He's not going to fucking cower away from this megalomaniac, who'd dare to use his own fucking brother against him. Palnatoke prickles under his skin, and by god, he's going to summon him even if his mask refuses to appear if that bastard fucking dares-
He can't help the way he freezes when Maruki mentions the tape. No. No. Him? Of all fucking people?
"What the fuck did you-" whatever he saw, it wasn't- but he mentioned Kou's loss, that motherfucker- "-that was not for you to see! Keep my fucking name out of your mouth- there's nothing I want to hear from you!" Fury tightens his face, and his Metaverse outfit finally, finally wraps itself around him. He flexes his gauntlets, snarling. "Give it back!"
