... I... I want you to listen to me very carefully. I don't know what Haruka-chan has told you, but her timeline isn't ours.

[ Ryoji silently backs off, but keeps his hands on Minato's shoulders, expression serious. ]

I want you to decide. I don't know... if I'll change here or not, Minato. I don't know. But once that happens, I'll be unable to take human form, and unable to stop myself.

I will kill you. And anyone else.

Think about this carefully. Are you sure letting me live now, when you can stop this, is the best decision?
