[His eyes narrow at the smile, if only slightly. It's really the first time he's shown much emotion since either Minato had arrived. All those words hit far, far too close to home. The fear of losing, of nearly falling apart because of it...
There's a bad taste in his mouth, one he only used to get in facing those they thought were the culprits, but to hear that question--it sends him reeling mentally, though it only really shows in his eyes. How close they'd been to lowering themselves to the same level as Adachi, how they had narrowly dodged the slippery slope and stopped themselves from tossing an innocent man into the TV world... Yu's fists clench tight.
Minato was right- he does feel strongly about it. So much so that he switches Personas to Tzitzimitl, both because of immunity to darkness, and an attempt to calm himself.]
...I'd rather avoid it at all cost and learn the truth than act on emotion and instinct. [It's like being faced by his own demons again, and he hates it - he remembers seeing Namatame's petrified gaze as they debated what they'd do with him, just how close he was to throwing him in himself before the realization hit him...] Every life is precious, and I'd be lowering myself to another person's level if I ever contemplated taking someone else's!
[Deep breath...] We all have a limited amount of time, so why not use it to live to the fullest for those who can't? [...He is so close to hitting this Minato, it isn't even funny.]
...and then we all relive December, wheeeeeee.
