['They're not worthy of your protection'. Rang thinks of saying, of lashing out insanely at Buzen for not reacting the way he would have -- like a child hurt by the world, hurt by someone he cared for and trusted.
Instead, he grits his teeth and for once -- for once -- prioritizes Buzen's reaction over his own. At least he's had some practice with Matsui, and with Haru -- their grief and their emotions for once eclipsing his tendency to only focus on himself. So he doesn't tell Buzen to hate or be angry or be more violent. Because he remembers a conversation they had once, that Buzen would never try to change who Rang is -- and in turn, Rang would never do the same.
he can keep his word, unlike some people. he might be a fox and a trickster and someone who feeds on misery, but he won't fit buzen into a little category that everyone else has apparently deigned to put him into. instead, in a very stiff -- affronted way of someone who is trying so hard to control Rage of All Kinds]
