It hurts!
The pain of his grip on her hand was a measure of the intensity of the hatred and rage he felt.

"You say you did it to help your second brother, right? Do you think that by doing so, you can have what you call kinship? Ha... How naive you are! That's just exploitation! You could never have the kind of kinship you want!!" he said spitefully, mocking her innocence, ripping her heart open like a demon.
"No! Don't you talk about my second brother like that!" She struggled angrily, defending her second brother, or perhaps looking for an excuse for her own unease.
"You think you're so pitiful? Someone cajoles you a bit, and you believe everything. Do you think someone like you deserves kinship?" His large hand cupped her face, seeing through the struggle in the depths of her eyes, feeling a perverse satisfaction.
