[See, all Papazaki has to do is stand there being scary. Now keep doing that, the child is misbehaving again.

But for the record, never let Rin know about Sousuke's equally messed up misconceptions about self-sacrifice. He would hate to have to deal with a deja vu of this.]

There weren't any dangerous creatures lurking outside when Makoto disappeared, and yet-- [Despite his snappish tone, he cuts himself off before saying too much again; words make it too real, and that's another memory he doesn't want to dig up.

Nevertheless, it doesn't seem like Rei is willing to listen to reason, and Rin doesn't feel like wasting any more of his breath and limited patience when nighttime is fast approaching, so he he just lets out a loud grunt, shakes his head once, teeth still gritted. Back to action.]

Forget it, it's useless to try to talk some sense into this idiot. [This is aimed at Sousuke, of course.] Just help me drag him back to the auditorium alive.

[But is Rin asking for help keeping an eye on Rei, or making sure he won't act upon his own murderous urges? It's a mystery.]
