[ ... There is so much frustration. Frustration because there is simply so much he doesn't UNDERSTAND. So much he doesn't know. ]
He... he doesn't... need to be protected?
[ ... It's more like a child, repeating something he has just learned, as it vaguely settles in his mind. Minato does not need to be fixed or helped or protected. That is not the problem?
It confuses him, and this is very evident, that... this is all he knows. ]
I don't understand... I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I thought... it was because I failed to protect him that he was hurt. If it's not that... then what is it?
[ It's not the sort of statement someone makes when they're asking to be told what to do, it's more like a general statement of facts. Gaps in his knowledge, which are very wide. Gaps he has yet to bridge. This is one of them, and it's very evident on his face that he is confused.
... But he listens. To every word Motochika says. ]
I don't know... how people are supposed to be. I thought I did, but... I'm missing a lot of things.
[ Again, he doesn't say it because he's looking to Motochika to tell him, or looking for reassurance. It's just... a confused statement of the truth. He honestly does not know. There is much he does not understand. There is innocence and good intention, for certain, however. ]
I just... I want to do what's right... but I don't know what's right or how to do it.
[ He just wants to do the right thing. His intentions were good, they always had been. Perhaps it was simply the fact he wasn't sure how to apply them, or what needed to be done... or not done, that was the problem.
How could he fix this? ... But it didn't need fixing. Which was a foreign concept to him. He doesn't understand that not all things need fixing. He only knows that Minato was troubled by this and he didn't want him to be. It's almost more like how a child would view something, than someone his age, who should understand this basic concept he has no grasp of. ]
