(just because he can't that easily doesn't mean the spirit isn't willing, begging, when it has to. if someone ever so slightly hurt scott, he doesn't think he'd be able to stand by, to not move a muscle about it. changed man or not, that's not how he was raised, not how he thinks.
and yet, what if it took the shape of another loved one? then what? and yet, that's not what he is thinking about. looming over his head is the fact he is crying about it, not alone, but where scott can hear and feel, and that may shake his view of manjiro as is.
he's no one's boss this time around, long gone the days he held that weight on his shoulders silently, the burden of being strong... but old habits die hard.)
