Haven’t you ever had someone, [Blue abruptly begins, voice raising a little with his temper] who you wanted to learn a lesson on their own? Sure, if someone doesn’t understand why you’re mad, you can just tell them. But that doesn’t really solve anything, does it.

[Blue stops, eyes narrowed and tense looking, as he looks back at Killua.] What I want or whether I want something, that’s totally separate from the reality of what needs to happen to get it. Understand?

[His gaze drops for a moment, still turned to face Killua. Whether he wanted to talk to Red. Whether he still wanted to be friends again. All of that was pointless if he didn’t even realize- or get why- he’d hurt Blue.]

It isn’t that simple... [His brow pinches sorrowfully.]
