That, he knows--it's similar to what he told Renton so long ago, isn't it? That everyone has their limits. Yet he thought he could, at the very least, do this. This didn't involve the Coralian core, the virus, or a man bent on murdering the world.
But he overestimated himself, and Anemone paid the price for it. It's far from an unfamiliar feeling, this helplessness. He felt it when his parents died and he vowed to help change the world. He felt it again and again when he watched Anemone get hurt and he stood by and did nothing. He still felt it when he did something, but failed to protect her, nevertheless.
His life is just one neverending chain of it, really.]
It's my fault, though...!
[A part of him wants to protest when Minato mentions the police--there's a reason he never reported Vincent's threats before, after all. He doesn't know how much he trusts the police force, or whether or not he believes that they can honestly make a difference. However, he doesn't have the will.
Dimly, he wonders if he'll be fired for withholding this kind of information.
