Touya remembered, perhaps a little too late, that Yue kept referring to himself as 'crippled' by the loss of his powers--and Touya understood that. He didn't know much about Yue, but if his purpose was to be a guardian and his power to do so was taken away, he probably didn't know what to do with himself.

But Touya hadn't lost anything that he hadn't willingly given away. He probably couldn't understand what Yue was trying to get through without knowing. Stripped of his wings and possibly betrayed, Touya had a feeling that Yue's current attitude and mood was worse than usual. But Touya still didn't know how to fix it.

He looked back at his hand on the knob. Yue was a guardian, but without power. Perhaps if he could protect one person who wasn't himself... Touya's hand left the doorknob. Yue was right--Touya couldn't fight someone who Yue deemed 'very powerful'. He could barely fight something Yue ruled over.

"You're right," he said, staring at the door. "I guess we'll have to leave once... whoever or whatever it is, is gone," Touya turned back and offered Yue a small smile. "And you'll know when that is."
