"Over time?" Jr. let out a dry scoff. "It's been almost three decades, and nothing's changed about it." Of course, his power wasn't that much trouble when he was a child. That was because he didn't get angry, but that was because he wasn't exposed to anything that would get him angry. "All I can do is try my best to keep it down and not get to the point where I'd lose it."

He looked down to his clenched hand on the ground beside him. "Have you been fighting since the first day you were born?" Jr. didn't know why, exactly he decided to ask that question out of the ones floating around in his head. He figured he wanted to know if Zouichi had the urge to fight because it was programmed into him, or if he was simply just never used to anything else.

He couldn't help but frown after that. Pretend you're something you're not. "It's not easy just going into battle and saying 'okay, no need to bother trying to hide anything'. That's not what my will wants. And I don't want that part of me to be what defines me."
