I hid my tears while I stood and watched you get hurt. I didn't want to give into my feelings.
Was I really going to lose someone else dear to me?
My foolish pride made me keep my head up high and mighty.
Our previous argument was still on my mind.
Why didn't you trust me?
I know now you were worried. Just like I was when I saw you on that TV, surrounded and completely alone. Without your partner there beside you. I was worried.
You assured me you'd be fine...just like I said I would be.
We know what happened...and what if it would have happened to me?
I didn't think about it. My mind just raced. Yelling at you and not believing the things you said. I said I could never trust someone who didn't trust me...the thing is, you trusted me from the very beginning, even though I hated you and didn't want anything to do with you.
It was so foolish of me.
And now, you are in the state you're in.
While I fight alone...where both of us should have been.
Fighting side by side taking down any obstacle.
Please forgive me...and please...
Don't die, Kotetsu...
