... Yeah. I have those nightmares, too. Even if some of them didn't care about me, all of the others died to protect me.
[Well. Except one of them, who was a coward and tried to run. But that's a story for another time.]
I... I'm trying. I don't want to slow you down. I don't want to hold you back. If we're in a situation where you have to protect me I... want you to be able to focus on protecting yourself.
[He doesn't want to die for Vi. He doesn't want to die at all, but he did. He knows people come back here but... what if they don't? He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly.]
I'm... starting karate. Not with that Johnny asshole, with the other guy. I want to be able to fight, not just run.
