[ Yu braces the heels of his palms on the edge of the bench, leaning forward. ]

Remember what I told you, about Nanako getting involved in the serial killer case back home?

[ He glances sideways at Hiro. ]

There came a critical time in the case when we thought she was dead, and we thought we had all the pieces to the puzzle... we thought we knew who the killer was, but we were wrong. We were alone in a room with that man... and we thought if we didn't act right then, he'd get away from us forever. The girls weren't sure, but...

[ Yu looks up, away, his face hard. ]

I seized his collar and started dragging him towards the TV in the room. If I'd dropped him in there, he would have been killed for sure. We would have been murderers... no better than what we thought he was.

[ His expression softens, and he looks at Hiro again. ]

"What kind of a hero tries to kill people?"
