[It was enough. Enough for his steps to falter and his concentration to waver.
The fact that might have been exactly Bel's intention didn't even cross his mind, not with the turn his thoughts took just then.
It wasn't even like it was the first time he'd ever heard that word directed at him, not the first time he'd heard that kind of sentiment. But it never really lessened the effect, never failed to remind him of just how much a small part of him actually agreed with it. It might have even been the real reason he'd never told Kazui how he felt, even he wasn't very sure.]

In truth, Rin wasn't even sure how to react anymore, whether to drive his knives straight through Bel's chest or just give up for the moment, the thought not chafing as much as it usually would have. Even his anger had cooled.
In the end though, there was really only one option left to him. He smiled, not a hint of mirth to it, and once again raised his knives.] Why don't you just die already?
[He sprang forward again, with renewed determination.]
