[There is a little kid on the screen, and this shorty does not look happy, okay? Not happy at all. It may just very well be because he found his friend Kazama in the medical bay with a bullet wound. He may deal with alien monsters regularly, but he's more than appalled when people hurt each other. No, he's lost Chase, and now someone tries to take yet another friend? He won't have any of this bullshittery.

His eyes are fiery and his meeker expression from other entries is gone. No more being scared now! No more hiding away!

He spent too much time alone to want to ever be alone again!]

We gotta worry about monsters, but what about people who are mean?

There's too much bad stuff here to worry about... so don't hurt each other for no reason! Don't shoot people and don't hurt people and don't be like the monsters; I been hurt before by people who are mean for no reason, and it doesn't feel good. So--so if I learn you're hurting people, and 'specially if they're my friends, I'll stop you. Whoever hurt Mr. Kazama like that, I'm not afraid of scaredy babies who shoot people with guns.

I'm gonna--

I'm gonna--!!

I'm gonna kick your ass*!

[SO THERE, MOTHERFUCKERS.

... But... if they're not stopped, they'll hurt more people; it's scary, but I can do it!

I'd be real careful.

I know you would be, buddy. But listen. Did you ever think that when you do that, you're only doing to them what they did to your friend?

[#no effect

Sorry man, but Takeshi's seen far too much in his life so far to believe that.

Ever.]

Sometimes there are bad people who hurt good people, and those people need to be kicked hard.

There's bad people, mister. They could be nice, but they're not, so they get kicked.

I know you're a pretty strong little guy, too. It makes you feel safe, right? To know you can do something about it when something goes wrong?

Yeah... and--it makes me feel like I can save the people I really really love!

The thing is, champ, a lot of the time people don't know the whole story. Sometimes things happen by accident. You wouldn't want to hurt somebody who just made a mistake, would you?

No... but if it was a mistake, they wouldn't hide like that... They'd tell people it was a mistake, so they wouldn't get mad.

How are you going to know that everyone who says that is telling the truth?

I don't know... but It's better than running away.

You know what, buddy? I think sometimes running away is better than getting hurt yourself. Do you have an adult here yet, someone who helps you?

... Yeah. I have--friends who help me. Lots of friends.

They're really nice.

That's good. And you know you can trust them, right? Help you make good decisions?

Mmhm. I can definitely trust them. I definitely can.

You know what? Those people are pretty lucky to have you as a friend.

[What, really-?

But--he hasn't protected anyone yet, and he's made everyone worry...]

I am?

Yeah. You're a really good guy, you know? Not everybody cares about the people they know. Some people just want to use people.

Use people like—like they don't care about them and they just wanna hurt their feelings later?

... That's a bad way to make people feel...

Yeah, that's what I mean. I know you're a good guy. You know I'm a good guy too, right? Because you know, I'm thinking about that first time we met, when we were in the hallway? You knocked me down. Do you remember?

... Mhmm. I remember.

[I was totally sorry about that, btw!! Totally sorry!!]

Well, that's the kind of thing I'm thinking about. Sometimes you don't realize what a person's really like when you first meet them.

I... I guess so. Sometimes—it's hard to tell if someone's good or bad. I didn't know if my dad was good or bad neither.

[ Oh Takeshi. :c That gets York right in the heart. He'd wondered if there was something like that in the boy's past. ]

People can be pretty complicated, too. Sometimes someone is good and bad, both.
