"Stop acting dumb! You saw- and you had no right to see!" Kou snarls, brandishing his sword dangerously. He can't reach Maruki from here- no yet, at least, but he's quick to take a leap, using the claws and points on his gauntlets and boots to forcibly scale the wall. It's a feat of superhuman strength and dexterity, fueled by pure rage and cognition.

How dare he even ask? How fucking dare he forcibly dreg up one of Kou's worst memories? Grief and fury mix into a deadly cocktail, and soon enough, he has scaled the wall enough that Maruki is once again within reach-

"Brain Buster!" he shouts, following Palnatoke as he barrels towards Maruki, his sword right behind his Persona, ready to strike.
