[It's said as bluntly as that, with Tenka's understanding expression, and Sousei can't deny it or hide from the truth anymore. That's the truth. Kinjou Shirasu--Fuuma Kotarou--murdered their parents. He killed them, and the horrible part of this is that, despite the emotional part of this, the part that's swamping him, there's the analytic part of him that gets it. The logical part of him that notes, in the back of his mind, that sensei must have been close.
He'd always talked about how he would kill whoever would turn into the Orochi, and save them from themselves.
But he'd always hated it, Sousei knows. And... And if he'd been secretly searching, if he'd been close to finding a way to not have to kill the vessel, then-- (then Sousei was wrong all along)--then of course he'd kill him. He just knew too much.
It's the most bitter taste on Sousei's tongue, and if he wasn't quite so disciplined, he'd feel like vomiting. Slowly, burning lungs remind him that he has to breathe, and so the breath he draws in is deep, almost gulping, but he's going to assume that that's because he was depriving himself of oxygen (and not because it feels like his entire life just tilted).]
He--
[Tenka still cares about him, huh. Tenka still does, because Shirasu was with him for ten years. But... Even knowing that, Sousei can't help it.]
He murdered them.
[What did he do, knowing that? How can they even let the bastard go free?]
