"But you are still gonna miss practice," Osamu points out. "And you're the captain. How's that not out of your way when there's somewhere else you gotta be?"

Resisting the help makes sense, because Osamu already feels bad enough that he cost his team one of their players; taking Kita away too after he's gone and stupidly gotten himself hurt would just be too cruel.

"It's not even that bad. I deserve to wait for doing this to myself."
