[ Minato knows there are a lot of things he needs to get out of the way right away. So when Yu is done, he decides now'd be the best time to do it. He's not great or big for talking, he doesn't like being here with all these NORMAL people, but... well. He trusted Yu and Naoya. And Suou deserved to know what was going on the most. So did Minako and Shinjiro. ]
... Trying not to kill each other would be an awesome place to start. But... seriously?
[ He pauses. This is just awkward for him, to be honest... he doesn't like working with Minako anymore than he likes being reminded Minami is gone.
But he's not doing this for her or anyone else.
He is doing this for his sister, because it's what she'd've wanted. He hopes. After a moment, his expression becomes more serious. ]
... I mean, I'm... I'm not like you guys. I shouldn't even be in this room, so it's not like I have a place to judge you, Narukami. Even if that's true, and it was kind of chaotic... you weren't entirely responsible. At least you're able to be honest about it. On the subject of things we know and danger, though, I have some things that do need to be said, so I'm just going to get all of this out of the way now so we don't all need to wonder about it later.
[ All business. This... has to be business. ]
If anyone encounters a troll--gray skin orange horns--named Karkat Vantas, just... be careful. He can make you do things, and never remember it. He's weird, wears a lot of blue, has one eye with eight pupils... I think he can control people's emotions or something?
... I'm not asking to be forgiven for what happened that day, I'm just hoping it doesn't happen again. And between the weirdness here and the Shadows happening I think I've had it with some version of myself trying to kill people when it's not even something I'd normally do unless I have a damn good reason.
[ And that is as blunt as he'll be about it really. Now, as for Minako's inquiry... he turns to face her. It still hurts, seeing her face, thinking of his sister. ]
Other than that, the only thing we can really do is just... try not to let this place make us fight each other. I know it would, too. I've seen the sort of stuff that happens. ... I'm really the last person who wants to praise the wonders of cooperation, especially with anyone from SEES, but...
[ Here, Minato himself now sighs, finally finished. None of this was EASY to say, and he's not pleased to do it--he's still hurting from missing his sister a lot. For a long time he kept this to himself, but he knows it's time to just be up front about it. ]
... It's what my sister would've wanted, and she lead them. Someone has to pick up her slack. I'm not really the ideal person for the job, and this Tower is huge. I... I'm not in the same shape as you guys, so I can't help anyone else even with my team alone. We don't function the same way, so--
I'm sorry. I will understand if no one wants me around here, though. ... Minako-san and Aragaki-san probably would do a better job, anyway.
