No you weren't.

[ The accusatory tone in Adachi's voice is obvious, and he really doesn't care how much attention it's drawing right now, or if Yurio can see it. Someone needed to say it so it actually got through his stubbornly thick skull and stuck this time. ]

If you were, you'd've heard what he was trying to say. He's hurting, Viktor; not just because of what you did with me, but he's suffering from Yuuri's loss here too. He's trying so hard to convince himself he's going to be okay, but he doesn't believe it, and it is obvious.

[ He took a deep breath, letting go of his jacket, but grabbing his arm instead. His grip was tight, and he lowered his voice as another skater guy he didn't recognize went out. ]

This shit is why I'm doing what I'm doing; so people like you and Yurio can go back home and not have to worry about being randomly dragged to a place like this. Where you guys can live out your lives like you were meant to, and never have to worry about this place again. Or the people in it.

[ People like him; someone he'd been putting too much focus on before this, and now Yuri was suffering for it. Adachi wasn't going to address that right now -- that was a conversation for another time -- but he still gave him a hard look, like he was trying to drive his point home. ]

So stop moping. Yuuri is safe at home. You and Yurio are both here; and yeah, he's a pretty independent kid that can take care of himself, but he still needs a role model he can look up to. And right now you're all he has.

[ He finally let go of Viktor's arm then, pushing him back and toward the skater prep area as if he was saying, "You better damn well have a costume back there." ]

Now, pull yourself together.
