[There is no such thing as balking rights. No such thing at all, Kotetsu.]

I want you to answer me truthfully...

[Cleaning the knuckles for good measure with alcohol and a cotton ball, Yuri meets the veteran Hero's eyes, his own intense.]

Is this only about your argument with Jayden? For it seems a very strong reaction to have, and a very concerning reaction at that.

[Concerning because it is violent, and Kotetsu...that is the one way the man who idolizes his father has at least managed to always be different from his father. Is that changing now? Has this world brought out the worst in Kotetsu? It's possible, and if it is so...Yuri knows it will mean keeping a closer eye on the other man. That way he can be there should the worst happen, or rather...to prevent the worst from happening. Again.]
