"Don't start!" Yuya snaps. "You said yourself you would have left us there! How much we were suffering wasn't important enough to you then so--so don't act like it is now!"
Yuya's shoulders shake with a new wash of rage. But he can't hold it as long as he did before, because... because Strange still won't acknowledge what he's actually saying. Because the truth is that how much Strange has hurt them doesn't matter. It's not even a consequence he's trying to convince him to avoid. It's already happened. He's already bruised, sorry, shamed that he put so much trust and faith and love in someone who couldn't ever return it. Who probably never really wanted to.
And Herbert's interjection only compounds that Yuya can't trust him. He's erasing the details to elevate himself, at the expense of someone else's efforts? Did he acknowledge what any of them could do?
"You're so convinced we won't we able to work with the Summer Queen. That we won't be able to get anyone to help. You won't listen to anything. If you're that worried about dying, then don't come! Stay in the Summerlands until we get back!"
Yuya takes a step back, blinking back tears before they fall. He sucks in a sharp breath. "I can't call us friends right now. And... and I need to focus on this because I want to see us succeed in getting the Summer Queen's help and changing things!"
