[That does make him angry, and not just entirely at her but at Yancy too because there's a part of him that would literally do anything to have his big brother back, and then there's the other part that knows if that did happen, if he did see Yancy again-- he'd punch him square in the face. Because Yancy died, he's gone and no it's not like he chose it but if he'd had five more seconds, he would have.
Raleigh knows where that sentence was going, and it's not okay. It's not okay that he made a mistake, made a stupid call and Yancy was still going to try and bail him out of it, and died because of it.
So yeah. He's angry. At his brother, at the kaiju, at her for pushing. She could've just left him alone, that's all Raleigh really wants-- is to be left alone to carry his burdens in peace. He probably would've let the slap go but because of what she said, he's grabbing her wrist, holding it tight.
Mako doesn't have to tell him what Yancy would say. Raleigh's got a little voice in the back of his head that sounds just like Yancy that hasn't shut up for five years.]
A guy has to eat. [That's a shitty excuse and he knows it but his other options including wasting away or working on the wall and he can't imagine Yancy would've liked either of those.] You don't know my brother, you don't get to talk about him at all.
[And part of him wants to push her against the wall and make her stop talking, with his mouth and hands because that's easy, that's something he knows.]
i'm crying rn :C :C
