"Look, Tyson…" Hiro would argue—trying to sound logical. Sounding like a jerk. "You never freak out when Kai takes off for a while."
It's SO not the same! Tyson would shriek. It's so not even the same at all! You're my BROTHER! But you're not here for me and at least—at least Kai… he's here for me! He's never…
"Betrayed you?" Hiro would snap. "You think this is a betrayal..? You think Kai has never betrayed you?"
It's not the same thing! It's not even the same thing at all! A-at least when Kai leaves he…
"Gives you a call? Tells you where he is? Tyson, I knew you'd react this way!"
You chose them over ME!
"YES I DID! … … You know why Kai never tells you were he is..? He doesn't want you chasing after him. He knows you, like I know you, and I knew you'd follow me. I don't like to be followed, Tyson. And Kai doesn't like to be followed."
I hate you…
"Then you hate both of us."
THEN I HATE BOTH OF YOU!
…
And Kai would quietly stand up, and would quietly leave the room, and Tyson wouldn't notice.
