That's exactly what I'm asking you to do.
I'll do my best not to let you down, Katsura-san.
[ He'll place his faith in Katsura, too. He may find it hard to trust the other man just yet... but trust and faith are subtly different things, and faith he finds he has plenty of, ultimately.
He truly believes in Katsura.
If he could change one person, and divert one course... he could feel like he really, somehow, made a difference in Cerealia. Whatever happens from here on out, this, this moment, will always be something he looks back on as a moment he did something right. He feels a familiar stirring in his heart, a kind of warmth, and it makes his lungs swell raggedly. Trust, and bonds, and faith... this is at the very core of what those things mean.
The person that Katsura could become... isn't that person right in front of him? ]

[Katsura you're so transparent sometimes it hurts. Then again if he'd gone through what Katsura did he'd probably want a hug, too. So he pushes Baymax's case away and sits up a little more, looking at the case before lightly saying:] Ow.
[The light pops on and the case suddenly expands, Baymax inflating and stepping out of his case.] Hello, Hiro. [He takes a moment to look at their surroundings before his eyes land on Katsura.]
Hello, Katsura. [JUST A QUICK SCAN, DON'T MIND HIM.] How can I help?
[The light pops on and the case suddenly expands, Baymax inflating and stepping out of his case.] Hello, Hiro. [He takes a moment to look at their surroundings before his eyes land on Katsura.]
Hello, Katsura. [JUST A QUICK SCAN, DON'T MIND HIM.] How can I help?
[ Depending on how thorough Baymax's scan is, he will find out the following:
Age: ???
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 124 lbs
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Poop brown
Blood Type: AB
Ethnicity: Japanese
Allergies: None
Physical injuries: crushed tibia and fibula, a fracture in his right femur.
If he's able to detect emotional injuries, he seems depressed but also anxious, even if it doesn't carry on his face. Who knows, he may be able to catch the PTSD he has too.
Zura can't really stand up, but he looks up at Baymax expectantly. Just seeing the giant balloon make a him smile slightly. ]
Ah. So you are a carry on item in that suitcase.
You are looking good today..
I will tell Elizabeth you said hello, too. She is working for me today as a good right hand should.

[Baymax's scan is incredibly thorough and all of those stats are displayed on his belly properly for everybody to see. Hiro winces slightly at the diagnosis for his leg and Baymax can at least pick up on his mood. He's had practice.]
Thank you, but my appearance does not change daily. I am a robot. [Hiro doesn't say anything, studying the stats quietly.] I detect signs of: emotional distress. Often times physical reassurance is used to dispel distress.
[Thus…waddling. He's waddling to Katsura's chair and draping over him as a sudden Baymax-blanket, even going as far as to warm up just slightly to be more comforting. There there, Katsura.]
Elizabeth told you we were coming over today, right?

A-Ah..
[ Katsura is immensely touched by Baymax's sentiment and willingness to just drape himself over him. Zura reciprocates well, surprisingly, for somebody who always seemed to tensed and came off was reserved and dignified. He is smiling widely against the balloon-like feeling of Baymax, absolutely delighted.
He responds to Hiro. ]
She informed me, but ah. Elizabeth has been working very hard for me at my employment. I'm sure everything is fine, but it makes things here hard with me here.
[ He pulls away slightly just to peer at Hiro. ]
My room mate isn't here anymore. He disappeared, as they often do.
Into the code, or what have you.
[ So he's by himself here, trying to manage. ]

[ Zura finds himself stiffening his muscles at Yu's words. It was a childish response on Katsura's part, but he hated being proven wrong. The samurai carried a bitterness on his shoulders that ached everytime he looked out of the window and saw space ships flying in the air over what was once a quaint Japan with simplistic thinking.
He wanted to lead them into a new era that was like the old. A new dawn that they all had seen before.
Here, he wanted to do that here.
It was selfish. ]
This entire time.. I focused on myself in a situation. I had confidence in myself that I could lead others as I do back home.
[ Did you know he is a general and a leader back home, Yu? ]
That is what has gotten me in trouble.
[ Admitting defeat so easily? It seems that way, but Katsura has a lot on his mind.
If he hadn't been so reckless, he would have both of his legs still. ]
Instead of relying my burden on others, I wanted to take everyone's burden upon me.
But that is not how allies work, is it?

[ Katsura pauses his game an looks over at Ryuko, a sense of fondness in his eyes as he casts her a glance. ]
I do want something from you, but it isn't your rescuing.
You're welcome to not give it to me— what I request— because I know it is hard to do.
Especially for somebody so bold and brazen like yourself.

[ He can see it. Katsura being a leader... for how ridiculous the other man can be, his seriousness, that quiet readiness, like a waiting wolf ready to snap its jaws... speaks to someone who has known much fighting.
Katsura is a person of surprising depth. But Yu has seen that bit by bit since the day they met on the roof, his very first day in Cerealia. ]
I was a leader back home, too. But the only reason I can be a leader is because I have the support of my friends. I couldn't do it without their strength. They count on me to lead them, but I rely on them to back me up.
Let us be your strength. You don't have to be alone anymore.

[ The words that are on his screen pull at his heart, as strong as it is, it carried the scars and ache of things that he was certain would never heal. Katsura isn't a pessimist, but he also isn't an optimistic person either.
This wasn't Edo. This wasn't the Jouishishi faction that he was accustomed to leading. This wasn't revolutionizing Japan.
This was something entirely different, and it was so obvious to anyone else, but right now, Katsura is really noticing the difference and how he should approach this at a different angle — maybe Yu's angle.
Cast the hatred aside. Ignore the bitterness. Think clearly. Believe it or not, he was a planner and prepared individual. But he had let his feelings get the best of him here and it had only taken him until this moment to actually snap. ]
How can I support my friends when I cannot even support myself on my feet anymore?
How can I lead anyone when I cannot walk ahead of them?
[ planting explosives and detonating them when the moment was right was all he could do. That is all he could think to do in his current state back at the carnival.
There was no stance for him to hold his sword in. There was no way he could run, or jump, or fight. Not like this.
And yet, Yu is trusting and believing in him... when all he is feeling right now is worthlessness. ]

Why are you asking me that? Aren't you Katsura? You know more about this city, and about CERES, than I do. I'll need you, going forward. I doubt any of us will be able to do it without your help.
[ And right now, he doesn't even know the extent of Katsura's activities. It won't be until tomorrow that he finds out about the raid. At which point he'll become agitated all over again... until he remembers all of this, and remembers I'm tired.
This is a person who needs him. And this is a person he needs. ]
There's more than one way to lead.

Why didn't you call any of us sooner? [It's not that he's mad, but he's sort of disappointed. More than that he's worried about Katsura. He really had been isolated but it made little sense. For all of Hiro's talk about doing things alone, he's still not sure this should be done alone.] Katsura, what exactly happened between the time we split up in the tower and now?
[ Never had he felt such an abundance of trust flowing from this person during his stay here in Tellus. People have claimed to trust him, accept him, and ally with him to figure out the puzzles and mysteries of this place, but..
Yu is genuinely accepting him— inviting him in such a warm way. For once, he feels like he is a valuable and desired person on this mission they are destined to embark on. Not like his other friends and allies didn't make him feel important, but Yu is basically saying he needs him.
He cannot do this without him.
How could Katsura ever deny something like this? They both have a common goal, ultimately, but are coming about at different angles.
Maybe it's time to come at the same angle. Maybe that way, bad things won't happen so easily.
Maybe that way, he won't feel like a failure.
Yu doesn't see the warm but small smile that grows on his face— nor the tears pooling in his eyes, and he is thankful for that. For somebody who seemed so crazy— almost maniacal— he certainly had a sensitive soul; a sensitive, old soul that has been through far too much in his life. It was time for him to humble himself, here, and share his burden more than ever before. ]
Instead of running in different directions..
Let's find the right path we can take.
Together.
[ praise jesus hallelujah. His next scheme was to just fuck all and blow up the entire Research Tower. ]

[ Baymax better get used to Katsura cuddles, because the samurai isn't seem to be letting go anytime soon. Soft coos and strokes of affection are also seen and heard. For somebody so determined on causing destruction, he definitely had a soft and sympathetic side, didn't he?
Though, Hiro's next question causes his stomach to twist. It's obvious he is really thinking about the answer here, a hint of sadness seen in his face. ]
—I let you all down.
That is what happened.
[ They got out with barely any information, Celty was put in danger, Hinata nearly got a concussion— the incident with his leg. It was all too much sacrifice for something so small.
His weight sinks into Baymax's arms. ]
I refuse to be defeated.. but I feel like I have been.
[ He's not even sure what to do with his injury, either. Will he walk again? He doesn't really know. The hospital here said he would be able to, eventually, but only if they equip with him their own prosthetic. Zura has been running his whole life— from the police, from those who oppose his political views, from the Amanto... from the feeling of being lonely. He's a criminal, an escapist, living under the thrill of staying secret, wearing disguises, and practically being a spy in some cases. His name was scattered all over Edo with an impressive reward for his capture.
Yet, he truly feels stuck here.. like he cannot escape.
The thought of being parted from one his legs seems too much— but it is worthless right now, being reconstructed and held together with multiple rods and pins. ]

Hey. [His tone drops a decibal and Baymax realizes it's probably better not to move while Katsura's apparently an actual wreck. Hiro leans forward in his chair, staring at him for a moment before taking a deep breath.
Did they all risk things? Absolutely. Hiccup...hadn't even come back out of the tower. But there's no feat so small that it's worthless, even if the price is high.]
You didn't let anybody down. You got back out and that's what counts. Feeling defeated is just as good as being defeated...and I know you're not. So...[Yeah his pep talks suck.] Stop saying stupid things like that. Seriously. You didn't let anyone down.
[There's a pause...] How can we help you?

Together. Not just as allies, but as friends. I'll be right beside you, Katsura-san.
Thank you.
[ For talking to him, for listening to him... he's not sure. But it feels right to say.
His chest feels warm. Thou art I... Isn't that right? ]
Thank you.

Katsura-san. How are you doing? I'm sure you've noticed things have been suspicious.
[ Well, look who it is. Ready to work with him? Here is their first test. ]
It has been.. very suspicious, lately..
Especially since the doctor got a sex change. I did not see it coming.
What could he, ah...*she*.. be up to with that?
[ ah.. yes.. a daytime drama.
That is what it is. ]

—This is nice.
[ This is helping. Having you here; having hug from Baymax. Katsura is a complicated creature— nobody really knew how to pick at his brain or if they even wanted to. The solution, though, was easy in most instances. Give him a kitten and everything is okay.
Zura is stubborn, too, but not when he is reassured so quickly and easily. Hiro really is helping.
Katsura lifts a hand and pats Baymax on his arm and pulling away, looking up at him with a smile playing on his face. A sad smile, but a smile nonetheless. ]
