"I'm just trying to find a way to keep myself from killing someone," Yumi said a bit sharply, forcing a smile. "If you don't want me touching your clothes then fine, I won't. Just figured I'd offer since they got a bit dirty." So that distraction was out the window, ah well. There'd be something around the house she could do, maybe even cook again if Viral was hungry. This entire task she'd been handed, of staying home, just seemed piss poor to her from the start. She was perfectly capable and knew exactly what was going on, so why couldn't she help? Groaning in discontent she struck out at the nearest thing, an unfortunate fallen log which she kicked clean through, sending the two halves off in separate directions. They had best be quick about this investigation of theirs, she didn't want to have to play maid all day while waiting.

"Yeah... Everyone is different..." Three people he considered close now had undergone some kind of changes with his father, all three of which were around him right now. Yumi was furious and vindictive over what had been done to her, Viral didn't seem quite himself, and now he was completely aware of how his sibling had been faring. With Shu in particular he had no idea that it was so bad, as they'd never really spoken about it, and for good reason. Takeshi stopped in his tracks after a moment, looking down at the ground somberly before his brother. With no prompt he stepped forward and hugged the younger boy, holding Shu against him and smiling sadly. "Listen... You know you can talk to me right...?" Takeshi asked, glancing down at the little Saiyan. "If you have nightmares or start to feel bad then let me know, I'll try to help." He didn't want Shu becoming vindictive like Yumi was, or falling into a rut as Viral had. His little brother was hyperactive, friendly and just overall nice to be around, and he wanted to keep it that way.

They had things to do besides stand here and hug, so after a moment Takeshi let go of his brother, giving his hair a gentle ruffle. "Come along then, let's get back to it, hm?" They still had a lot to do, and as nice as this world was they couldn't stay here forever. Patting Shu on the back the older boy continued on towards the city, feeling a little bummed now as opposed to before. A good part of him felt like he hadn't properly been there for Shu, just assuming he was okay as they had pushed on. He had to wonder, was Viral collapsing from the same lack of support? That put the Beastman's misery in an entirely new perspective, and now suddenly he didn't feel nearly as though it was Viral's fault, or lack of motivation to try. Maybe the problem was with the rest of them.
