Hamuko's words almost work. Almost. But then Maruki opens his fucking mouth again, and the absolute bullshit, the mischaracterization of Ren and his entire team, sends him right back to where he was.

"People didn't fucking know how to keep you safe! You were fine when you were where you were meant to be, we were ready to help you and cover you if you needed to retreat. You just fucking decided for yourself that we wouldn't. I know you think you've never acted like an asshole in your life, and we're all mad at you because we're just so mean. But the fact is, if you can pull your head out of your ass for a second and stop sniffing the victim complex juices that are leaking out, you'll realize you put us in an insane position, and now you're crying because we didn't respond as if we deal with surprise tentacle monsters every day."
