[for fuck's sake. for someone who's scared of ghosts and Ruin and of half the inhabitants of the castle, he somehow manages to meet Sasuke's gaze with some mixture of irritation and spite]

You're going to make me say it to your face just because you're too deaf to hear anything else?

I care about what happens to you! And I'm tired of hearing you say that you're alone when you just set fire to every hand that reaches out to you! That's not the same thing as being alone, as being ignored like you don't matter - you're just too much of a coward to let anyone in.

I'm not going to pretend to understand what you've been through - but torching everything isn't the answer, stupid!
