[ Shigeru's hands clench a bit as he nods silently. ] I don't want him and Genji to fight. I...I never meant for it to turn out like that.

[ He lets out a shaky sigh. ] It wasn't always like that though. He was...nice to me, gentle, and he says he loves me but I just...I don't know if I can believe that.

[ Dodger makes him so confused it's really hard to pinpoint where he's even coming from. Shigeru just shakes his head and exhales softly. ]

He almost...died recently. I can't just...leave him alone. I don't want to see him hurt or anything like that either. [ So he's just...staying by Dodger's side regardless. He can take care of himself at any rate. But he does realize Cisco's reaction is a bit...personal, perhaps more so than he's meant to let on. ]

And you? You seem to...have knowledge about this sort of thing. I'm sorry if I made you remember something terrible.
