I hate it. I hate this. I feel like he's winding up to screw us all over some more like he's been doin' to us for months, and I feel like the only one who NOTICES this shit!

I notice as everybody's face darkens with the mere mention of him. I've seen every one of them cry. They all cried, blamed themselves when he's the one who screwed up and treated us all like crap. Like we don't matter.

Then at the Gala... N-naoto... she told me what I'd heard from everybody else. She fought so hard to keep a stiff upper lip, but she was... she was hurting too.

[He tried, too. But now, after slamming a hoof down on the table, he couldn't stop. Again and again, he brought it down on the table, some of the impacts joined by golden sparks. All of his frustrations, months of wondering why any of this had to happen was voiced in one long, low snarl and a few tears making a slow and steady mess of his face. His hooves lifted to what first appeared to cover his face, but no, he was fighting to wipe off his face, but he was too far gone to stop them now.]

I love my friends too damn much to let them be hurt by shit like this any more!

I love Chie-senpai! I love Yukiko-senpai! I love Teddie! I love Rise! I fuckin' love Naoto!

I love the hell out of 'em, damn it!!
