It was rare for Yusuke to look horrified. Hell, he'd stared death right in the face and smiled before. But when he heard those words come out of Shaun's mouth ("There was a man, he locked me in a well in the rain"), his eyes popped wide open, the color drained out of his face, and for a long, long time, all he could do was sit there and stare at him, feeling as cold and as clammy as he would if he'd been doused in ice water.

A man tried to drown Shaun in a well. Yusuke turned the thought over and over in his head, his jaw tightening as a flood of hot anger suddenly welled up in his chest. Some bastard tried to drown Shaun in a well. Yusuke hated people who hurt kids to begin with, but the thought that someone would try to hurt Shaun - that they would try to kill him, even...

Needless to say, when Yusuke finally mustered up the ability to speak again, it was a wonder he didn't shout.

"When?" He asked, eerily quiet. His voice was tight with barely constrained rage. "How long ago?"
