[There are so many things he wants to say. Shout. Scream. He'd promised to save Mikey too. Just because he's weaker doesn't mean he's completely useless. He's allowed to care too. But Mikey isn't called "invincible" just because he's strong. He's also impossibly stubborn. Takemichi knows that if Mikey has made up his mind not to open that door, nothing he can say will convince him otherwise.]
But I can't do that. Even if you kick me out of Toman.
[If Mikey still hasn't pieced together why Takemichi would start a Second Generation Tokyo Manji, this bit of defiance makes it pretty damn clear.]
