Back on the summit of X-You Mountain, Tsukino touches Ten's shoulder, gaining his attention:
"Please step back, I don't want anyone to be involved in my business. I can handle this."
Although a power/spirit is manipulating her, Tsukino is concerned about this friend of her dead brother. Nonetheless, Ten snickers at her kindness:
"Chiroto-kun, will blame me if I let anything happen to you."
Sadness washes over Tsukino face; how can she bring herself to tell this crazy boy in front of her that her little brother was killed by Shinji a month ago?
Taking a deep breath, Tsukino controls her emotions, saying:
"He has nothing to blame you for. If anything happens to me, it's my fault."
Ten nods, and comes up with a random lie.
"How can I let the sister of my best friend be bullied, while I sit back and watch? As someone aiming to be a chivalrous warrior, I won't stand it."
