Since when do I need someone to watch my back? It's the opposite, Takemitchy. You're mine, I take care of you. I'm trying to do that, so I need you to leave.

(takemichi might have experienced this a million times, but manjiro? manjiro hasn't. he doesn't know that asking nicely doesn't work, disappearing doesn't work - surrounding himself with drugs, violence, crime and a gazillion horrible people? also doesn't work. takemichi doesn't stop, he doesn't give up, no matter how difficult manjiro makes it to reach him.)
