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.]

[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.

[Learn as you go parenting has always worked out, right?]
