[The crash was spectacular but in terms of physical injury, Natsu was no worse than before. However her words, her shaky questions dig into him something fierce robbing him of any possible retort. So he just sits there, eyes averted from her while she just lets it all out. He doesn't dare open his mouth. Because...he knows she's right. He slowly sits up straight but doesn't try to meet her gaze.]

That's...No I wasn't. Because...I don't want to lose anyone again. Especially not you.

[Ever since they survived the Grand Magic Games incident, Natsu had lost so many precious things. The Lucy from the future and then Igneel. Natsu just couldn't help that fear. He hit it well enough but it was the main motivator.]

I'm someone who shouldn't even be in this time... Just like that asshole...my brother.
