[ Based on the other teen's tone, yeah, he's upset. Minato blinks, observing the tension in Scott's expression while carefully weighing what's being said. It doesn't make any sense to him. Why should this stranger be upset on his behalf?
Although -- he remembers now. He remembers that full moon and those uttered words:
"This is how it should be."
And despite the person's acceptance of their fate, everyone had felt that loss so deeply, agonizingly, a life cut short even if they didn't have much time left.
Ah.
Minato's gaze drops to the floor. So that's what it is. Still, it's strange having someone level that distress at him. That's never happened before. After all, he'd been explicitly advised he had one year to make the most of things, and he'd signed on that dotted line that he'd accept whatever consequences came his way. ]
...okay. I won't.
[ Or at least, he'll stop because it's clearly upsetting the other person. It probably shows that he doesn't truly understand, given his flat tone. But in truth, he's not quite sure how to handle someone upset on his own behalf.
What should he say? What's the right choice of words in this situation? ]
