[Why isn't Ryoji letting him go?! He should know how important this is, maybe more than anyone else. Though his visor continues to cover his eyes, there's no hiding the way he stares up at his friend with both frustration and desperation.]
I-I'm fine Ryoji!
[He counters, voice rising in volume but also cracking in the process. If Scott was stronger, in a better state, he might've actually tried to push the other teen back, but he isn't. He's far from fully recovered and even moving this much has brought forth a new wave of pain that nearly makes him shake, but it matters so little to him. It... he doesn't want to be here. If he shuts his eyes, even thinks about Kotone, he can only picture her confused and lost and... dangerous. But. Someone needs to be there for her.]
S-she didn't mean to do this. She wouldn't hurt me. [One shaking hand grasps Ryoji's wrist, like he's trying to get him to see.] We can help her together-- we have to.
