The words come out like a mantra, like it's something he has to tell himself too often. But he manages to calm himself down. Her comfort does actually help. Ever since his family died, he'd had to face terrible shit like this alone. Meeting his friends at school had changed that, but after leaving them behind due to being drawn to the Legion's universe, he'd figured that it'd be right back to having to look out for himself.
Maybe he was wrong.
"I'm okay. I'm okay."
And he actually is now.
Thanks for the breather.
"This pain, this suffering, there is so much pain like it in the universe. This is our truth," says the guide. "And this truth is what fuels our every action."
Kyou has to hide his expression, which clearly says, 'If you say another word of cultish gobbledygook I'm going to smack you in the mouth.' He does it by turning towards Carolina and putting a hand on her shoulder, using it to move so she can take his place, and making it look like he's trying to give her some support to brace her for what's next.
I really hope we get a chance to knock his teeth in before this is over.
"Your turn. I know you're strong enough for this, sis."
If we do, you can have the first punch.
By Kyou's standards, this is a gracious gift that he's offering, in exchange for her having his back as a teammate.
"Prepare yourself," says Brother Rellick, gesturing for her to lay down in Kyou's place. The guide moves the bite guard that'd fallen out of Kyou's mouth halfway through out of the way and offers Carolina a new one.
