Kotetsu may be emotionally charged, but he's not as stupid as some may think—he remembers the mission, being attacked, remembers information on the dream shifters. He remembers the agony he'd endured when they experimented on Pao-lin and messed her up, killed the people he cared for more than his own life. He definitely remembers the draft... god, does he remember.
He comprehends it. He just doesn't know if he has it in him to do this.
Because he knows exactly what this man wants from him, and it makes his hands shake.
"I can't do this. This—is this gonna kill the shifter...?"
Kaede quickly moves to race into the store. The sirens are blaring now.
"I can't kill them. I'm—not like you. I won't kill them."
He's no criminal. He's no murderer... and just the thought of doing that to someone with his daughter's face... He'd kill someone for Kaede. This isn't that scenario. But then... the thought of fading out, not being able to go back to her... He shakes his head. Dammit, he can't turn into this. Why is he even holding this blade? It's not—he could never do something like that—
"O-oi, Do I have to kill them, or is there a way to break out without that? Please, tell me the truth—you'll give me that much, right??"
