[ a lot of thoughts come to toi's mind as he sees this. he knew galo was a firefighter, but this is seriously not what he was picturing at all. and while he didn't know too much about the relationship between him and lio, he was told by someone that they were on opposing sides back home, and this brings more light to it.
he also has a gay baby thought, but he chooses to ignore that. ]
That's-- robots?
[ he can't get more out, because then another memory starts. ]
[ he's not sure what to say. this memory is still so fresh, even though at this point it happened almost a month ago because of the time spent in this house. ]
... I was just weak, so he was doing what he had to do.
[He clenches his fist. He's trying to be better at understanding people's feelings before he goes off, but this - ]
That's bullshit! You aren't weak, and anyway, there's no justification at all for what he did! You can't just go around hurting the people who care about you, no matter what!
He doesn't say anything for a few seconds, as he tries to decide what to say about it.]
Well. Some things aren't okay no matter what. But I'm sorry I lost my cool. It's your job to decide what to feel about it. I just don't wanna hear you say you deserved something like that.
[There's more yelling where that came from. But not right now.]
I get that. But you shouldn't call yourself weak! Because you aren't, not at all. I've seen how you act here, and you're smart and brave and a really big help! So get that through your head.

We were leaving together, and were attacked along the way.

That's just... how it is?

[He solved Toi's problems by yelling at him about them. But listen.]
I've gotten betrayed before, too... So I know it's that person's fault, not yours!
