“Something about looking like easy targets.” Well, Enma really was an easy target. A pacifist to a fault, he knew he went too far sometimes with what he’d forgive. But the mafia world was too rough for the guys who beat him up. Average bullies didn’t deserve to be fought back against by someone like him. “I can take it… you shouldn’t have to, though. Just send ‘em all my way.” It was a joke, for the most part. Kind of. “But this late it doesn’t matter. There aren’t bullies out here, just normal bad people. Our odds are evened out, the same as everyone else.”

Tsuna snorted at his friend, rolling his eyes. That would just lead to both of them getting beat up, and possibly Tsuna getting another beating from Adelheid, and a lot of worrying from an overbearing Gokudera. “You’re right, but.. We can’t fight back, for reasons that seem like they’re pretty obvious, so that leaves this point where in good conscience we shouldn’t fight back, but if we don’t we’re just letting ourselves get hurt.”, he sighed, “We’re trapped.”
