It caught him off guard, and he was sent to the ground with a thud from her body weight, landing on his side with a grunt. Minori stood atop him, and it was only then she screamed, "I trusted you!" His ears flattened, not wanting to hear those words, not wanting to hear the pain in her voice. She continued in Japanese, to his disdain.

If she wanted to let out her anger on him physically, he would let her. He just tried to talk and hoped that she would listen. I would never abandon you, Minori. I meant what I said. The only thing keeping me from you was Death's door. Nothing else would have kept me for so long. His words were completely raw, his mind and heart open to her.
