[The harpy flinches visibly - what, he would never use Yusei, he was better than that, better than Zanza - flinches harder, because...that's why he told Yusei at all.
If things went wrong beyond Shulk's control, Yusei could...but what if Crow's right, and Yusei can't? He couldn't save Kiryu back then, right?
What if there's no turning back, once he's done this?
He stares with a wide, wide gold eye, when he hears that sound, catches sight of those spines, cut purple against the darkening sky by the dying light. Unconsciously, futilely pressing his head back against the dirt. There's no way he'd be able to avoid that, if it were more than a threat.
Humorlessly, he thinks of how if things do get bad, it won't be Yusei to end it all, but Crow. If they do get that bad.
When the weight of the mer is gone, Shulk scrambles to his feet, feathers flared and his breath coming in harsh gasps.]
You -- you're wrong! I don't care how far I fall, I will never turn on Yusei! Whether you believe that or not...!
[No, he's had enough. He bends, bunching the muscles of his legs before leaping into the air. Where he'll fly, flee back to Bavan, and he won't look back.
