"No, you're not," Kideme said firmly to Hayato when he lied about being fine. After having spent two years with him, Kideme knew how Hayato thought for the most part, and although this was a very new side of him, the lie was the most defining thing about him right now. "Why can't we-" By then though, the argument between Duke and Hayato happened and Kideme sighed as she stepped back, letting the two of them hash it out.

She understood where both of them was coming from but she didn't like where this conversation was going. One was threatening to essentially do what the other had done, who was also ready to fight it seemed. "And I thank you for thinking of us, Hayato but we could have-wait....you're a cop?" Just when Kideme was about to lay down her own law of Mother Goose morals, Hayato blurted out something about Duke and she now looked to him. Duke didn't deny the accusation and as much as Kideme wanted to react to that, it would have to wait, it seemed like a fight was about to happen.

"NO!" She shouted between them, Kideme intentionally put herself as a barrier to shield Hayato from Duke and vice versa. "We don't have to do this! Hayato....I thank you for thinking ahead and protecting us, but, I wish you hadn't killed them. Considering what we have been through, we've dealt with way worse and Duke is right, they still helped us!" Kideme put her hands on Hayato's shoulders to stop him from walking away, looking at him pleadingly. "Please don't let all that bad stuff turn you into a murderer. That's not who you are! And this isn't what you want....is it?"
