"Oi, it's me. Leave something here, would ya?"

The Dark Hour is what let me find them.

ok but did you want to destroy it you can hate something even if it gave you one thing out of it.

[He hated the children's home. But it's where he met someone, despite that.]

For a while, I didn't want it destroyed at all. I thought I'd lose my friends if it wasn't there to unite us. But I realized how selfish that was.

all humans are selfish trust me

It's amazing, isn't it? That there's so much selflessness anyway.

depends on the people a little selfishness isnt something you have to worry about youre you know

I'm what?

youre just one of those people

Are you implying that I'm not selfish? I am.

no you are everyone is but youre just that kind of guy where it doesnt matter

Kaneda-san must be very insightful. We haven't known each other long.

just good instincts you can tell a lot about someone by how they treat others

Then I'm more sure than ever about what I said about you. But it's probably pointless to argue about it.

well you caught me there

People are rarely as bad as they think they are.

yeah youre not nearly as bad as you make yourself out to be

[See what he did there? He so did it.]

guess thats both our problem

I don't think I'm that bad. I just don't think about it.

By the way, do you know anything about what happened between Tetsuo-san and Ken-kun during the swear in?

[Let's just change this topic.]

tetsuo and ken surprised he didnt tell you about it

He did, a little. But everything's been crazy, so I'm concerned.

whatd he tell you i only saw part of it

Ken-kun had told him it was okay to fight him if Ken attacked him, so when he lost control during the swear in, Tetsuo-san fought back. I don't know the details, but I had to heal him quite a bit.

[There's a pause...about ten minutes before Kaneda texts again.]

i thought he died when i reached them he was buried under rubble when i got there and tetsuo and i got into a fight from there went to find him couldnt

[There's another pause before Minato responds. Not ten minutes, but two or three. He's trying to fight down his instinct that he should've been there. Making it about him won't help anyone. Rationally, Minato knows there's nothing he could've reasonably done differently.

For some reason, rationalization isn't helping him much.]

Someone helped him to my house. I had to get Shinjiro-san off the field. But... I wish it were easier to protect him.

[That's called being a parent, Minato. The thing you signed up for.]

tell me about it for a kid who lectures me on this he sure does a lot of dumbass stunts

[He didn't really think that one through. Or anticipate it would affect him.

Because he has the emotional intelligence of a teaspoon.]

Most of them aren't really anything he can help. Not that that makes it easier.
