[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"She thinks for her people," she smiled, knowing that someone well qualified would be her replacement, and may even outdo her in many ways. Her son, on the other hand, while he was learning, still had a ways to go, "My son, on the other hand, still needs to learn how to put others' needs before his own during the right times." But then, he called out the two idiots, and her smile faded quickly. She never liked the two, despite how much he tried to make them look like his family. They were too wild, too childish, and that was all mixed in with dangerous and deadly. At any time, they could be throwing weapons around and then think it was no more than a game rather than a threat to those around them.

Nobuo stopped, dead cold in the streets. Far from being depressed, he felt that something else was terribly wrong and turned to look back at the temple. People who had seen the pendant on his chest bowed slightly and returned to their previous tasks and avoided walking into him. There was a clear gap where he was standing, as though there were some sort of invisible barrier. As he walked back towards the temple, people hurried to move out of his way. Although he wasn't in any rush, his breathing became unsteady as though he had just done a physically demanding task, and soon he was feeling anger, which he thought was probably caused by thinking back to what Ken'ichi and Fumiko said.

When he appeared in the temple, he caught a glimpse of what was going on. At first, he thought that this served her right, for getting him into so much trouble and taking arms against him, but then things happened in a flash and his body seemed to move on its own. His anger was redirected to the one who was hurting Fumiko, and he quickly charged and knocked the boy to the ground. He found it strange how his emotions had been redirected to another person, and his words finally made him think that he had snapped and gone insane somehow, "How dare you hurt my mate!"
