Tears streamed down his face as he continued to struggle. Naoto and Tatsuki exerted all their strength as they tried to restrain him.
They gritted their teeth.
Even so, it was getting increasingly difficult to restrain him.
In their desperate struggle to keep him from leaving, they couldn't help but marvel at the raw strength of Hiro.
It was such a frail body, yet it housed the strength to overpower two grown adults combined.
Even so, they couldn't loosen their grip. They couldn't allow him to leave even if it meant immobilizing him.
Who knows what steps he would take afterward?
It was clear to both that he wasn't able to make reasonable decisions. So, they had to tie him down no matter what.
Finally, after a while, Hiro withdrew his strength. It wasn't because he had expended his energy reserve. But it was because he couldn't take it anymore.
He broke down.
