[Shun's eyes narrow slightly at the retaliation. It's pretty obvious Fubuki is in a bad place right now, but at this point, he doesn't imagine continuing to keep his words softer is going to work, even if "softer" is very much relative where he's concerned.]

If you're angry with me already, you're going to think I'm talking down to you regardless of what I'm actually saying. If I'd stayed quiet instead of just saying what I think, would you have considered it any better?

[As for his later point, Shun definitely looks distinctly unimpressed at that argument.] The last time it was anything like this serious was when I did it to myself. And I was confronted about it then, and I started taking Kotori with me almost constantly. This isn't because I refused help. I had her with me every step of the way until my option was send her to escape ahead or drag her down with me, because I was the target and she would've just been caught up in it. If choosing to protect someone else in that situation is "not trying", then I'm never going to be trying by your standards.
