We had no way of knowing what we needed, and I feel guilty enough with--
[ Yusuke's first instinct, when faced with harsh realities that he absolutely has to deal with, is to get defensive, and between the stress and the worry and the pain, he has to bite down on his finger to keep himself from going there. Otabek is only angry because he's concerned. He knows that.
Maybe things would have gone better with Akira and Makoto. Maybe it would have been easier without Adachi, keep it between Phantom Thieves that knew how to work with each other already. Hell, maybe he should have stuck with Dooku, at least their outing had been productive.
But it was too late for all of those things, and he's still got a few minutes until the pain medication kicks in, so he's in no mood to fight Otabek on this. He's right, anyway. Mostly. His good arm reaches clumsily for one of those fists, partly a gesture of affection and partly a means to steady himself. ]
...Beka? I'm sorry. We should have been smarter, but I am waiting to find out if Futaba is doing to die or not. I understand if you are angry, but I will be out of this sling in a week, if I eat and sleep properly.
