[Wataru's heart sinks. This man has been sent by Eichi's family, then. He's here to make Wataru back off. He's here to make Wataru miserable and lonely, and have Eichi face the same cruel fate. Wataru isn't having any of that nonsense.]

You have some nerve overstepping your bounds. He wouldn't let you get away with this if he was here.

[He backs up a few steps, looking every bit an innocent and fearful schoolboy. Like this man's threat terrifies him.]

You wouldn't--!

[But the man strikes first. He reaches for Wataru's hair, and he manages to grab it, but Wataru shifts so that he's just taking a handful of bun, and as if by magic, the bun falls apart in the grip, now too loose for a proper hold. The man only has the ends of his hair in hand now, and Wataru dances back to avoid the sucker punch, then drops down to a half-crouch before raising his hand, palm up, and driving the heel of his palm into the man's nose.

The man is large, though, and Wataru won't win this fight through even strength and cleverness. He'll have to flee. But there's the matter of the man outside, as well.]

You won't keep me from him!
