Krom wasn’t falling for anything at this rate and was trying to play it cool, even if the man was getting on his nerves a lot. He stood by his decision to remain on the King’s side even with all of his power and his potential ability to change things. He didn’t see how he could make even more of a difference than what he already was doing, at least not anything that would be positive. His people counted on him and he wasn’t about to let them down. “That is nothing to do with me or the King. If the rebels want to start removing more of our own and dividing them up like this then we’re all going to be weak on all fronts”. He saw no reason to take any of the blame when he wasn’t the one who was defecting on all sides and making the bond weaker by removing links. Sitting back as Aito decided to give him a rant about clashing cultures, sighing lightly instead. “They’re in a war, they even came to us willingly and wanted to fight us. They wanted to kill their father and you’re saying they didn’t deserve to be tested? Look, if they did that to a real opponent, they would be dead! We didn’t force them to come to us or fight us…”

Shu really did hope so, he didn’t want to have ruined the bond he had with his brother. Takeshi was his only family left that cared about him and if he made him upset or angry at him then he didn’t know who he was going to have left. He had his friends, but he wanted his family. Sighing as he moved back a little he didn’t feel what Yumi was saying was helping him much, but he still leaned into Yumi as he tried to find some support after everything that happened. “B-But…I changed…and…” Gasping when she poked his nose he raised a hand to his face, hiding behind it momentarily before looking up at Yumi. He didn’t know how to feel happy, even if Yumi was trying to help him through it. Looking to her briefly he gasped when she reached over to tickle him, his hands flailing at first before his tail came around to try and grab her. “Please no…I-I don’t deserve fun! It hurts…”

Viral didn’t know how he’d do when it meant going out and doing what was going to be practically slave labour just so he’d forget he was hearing things, but he didn’t know what else to do. If he went anywhere else to work he’d probably end up creating some weapon or something or find himself too frustrated to continue trying to work if it was too quiet. He didn’t know how he’d react in a builder’s environment or how they might do things on this planet since it probably wouldn’t be very good if he had to use machinery. There was probably better options out there that he could do instead of all of this but he didn’t know what that was yet, if anything would be good at all. “That’s if I get well again. Remember it’s my genes that are being slowly destroyed, not just my mental health”, he spoke, glancing to Vegeta before away again, “I’ll be fine with it so long as I don’t end up killing someone because they looked at me. I nearly chopped Takeshi’s head off because he decided to look at me a little too personally and that was nothing to do with my mental state. I don’t know how long I have left to get everything else I need fixed…”
