[ He tries to sit tight as per her request, but the more she goes on, the more shocked he becomes. He can't stop himself from interjecting with small 'buts' and 'hows' but Shura seems intent on laying out the whole story before letting him speak.
What could he even say? To be honest, he wasn't even sure what he was feeling - a weird and unpleasant mix of shocked, furious, and hurt. A gun? Pointed at Mephisto? Satan's power? Yeah, he'd kept being sick from her, but keeping all this under wraps was a lot - he felt like he just got hit by a train. Once she finishes, he can't help but retaliate loudly: ]
How... How is that even possible?! [ It doesn't sound possible, and he doesn't want to believe it, not at all. He stands up in his state of confusion, one hand tight around the Kurikara and the other clenched into a tight fist. ] Yukio wouldn't.... he wouldn't do something like that...!
[ Yukio had been acting strangely, had been distant to him, had been lashing out, but he wasn't capable of threatening others, was he...? Did this have to do with that weird fight they'd had? Sure, it was weird for Yukio to yell at him like that, and he'd been meaning to bring it up again despite the fact that trying to smooth things over with him for the past few months hadn't exactly gone successfully, but that didn't mean he was capable of this. ]
If all that happened - then where was I?!
[ Even if all of that was true, which he didn't want to believe, he had to hope that his future self hadn't left Yukio alone. He had to believe that he would've rushed to his side, would've done something. The most important thing of all was figuring out if Yukio was okay, not off to get executed by the order - since the whole Satan's power deal is taking a second to catch up to his brain. ]
[Really, she's surprised that he lets her. It was a lot of information, and considering just how sensitive the matter is, she wouldn't begrudge him for interrupting her. She could almost barely believe the events of the last few hours at home, so to just throw it all at him at once when he had no idea what was coming at him.
Her hands come to rest on her knees as he moves to his feet, but she makes no move to follow him up. He had been in shock when she told him last time]
I only saw you for a minute or so when we were transporting him. You and the others were supposed to be holdin' at the dorms until we called, but I guess you saw the news and you went to try an' find him. I told you what happened and told you to go back to the dorms. Things were about to go to pieces, and we needed you exwires to be ready just in case orders came. He wasn't gonna get executed right on the spot, not with everythin' else goin' on, so I figured I had some time to get him to talk and figure out a plan. Then the Storm hit.
[And that was that. Shura pauses, looks away.]
I thought you just didn't wanna talk about it when I woke up. It wasn't until I talked t'Mephisto that I realized the timelines were messed up. He doesn't remember as much as I do.
[If she knew he didn't know, she wouldn't have waited to tell him. It wasn't a secret that was worth keeping from him.]
