I understand that, Sasuke. The gravity of the situation has not escaped me.

[He doesn't raise his voice -- he remains calm.]

Confronting him alone is an incredibly stupid thing to do. Attempting to stop him will mean your death. He is not in his right mind and it will do nothing except make the situation worse.

[Suddenly, his voice is hard.]

Do not add to his grief when he wakes up.

I am aware. I am also certain Miss Hinamori can, as well.

[It's spoken quietly, with a tinge of sadness.

That made little to no difference in what Hitsugaya had managed to do.]

Sasuke.

[Quietly, urgently, because Lance knows Sasuke heard the point, loud and clear.]

Do not do this by yourself. At least allow the shinigami to help you trap him. Work with them -- no one will die that way and no one will raise their sword against him, if you ask.

Acting rashly will only ensure both of your deaths and I will not allow that to happen.

I will be right behind you.

Do what you must, Sasuke, and I will do the same!

[And, for the first time, Lance's frustration and fear leaks through in a snap.]

[Ah -- that gets him to pause.]

Stay calm and listen to me.

[Quiet, calm, Lance is the Champion of Johto, and he has to act it now. Red managed to dismantle the entire Team Rocket outfit in Kanto -- Sasuke can certainly handle one shinigami.]

Should you find him, do not restrain him, do not attempt to get in his way. Stay at his side. I do not think he will hurt you if you don't attempt to stop him. If he says he is going to harm anyone, distract him for as long as possible until the shinigami arrive to restrain him totally. They will not kill him.

[And finally, there is a smile in his voice.]

Please stay safe.

And if I see anything that indicates your safety is jeopardized, I will interfere.

I am afraid you're not going to convince me otherwise.

Focus on what you have to do. Leave the rest to me.
