There it is. The driving need for information, if only because he thinks he needs that information in order to help anyone. Anything. Chuuya's not telling him to close his eyes even though he knows Baren's right there and - normally Baren can live in that unfairness. For years, the lack of balance in their relationship never even made him blink.
Right now he can't take it so - ]
... Open your eyes, Chuu. It's - fine.
[It's a trade.
Tanuki reacts to the stress of someone in distress as he knows how, by nudging against them softly and letting himself be held.

Mind control to hold it at bay for even a little bit. Retrospec gives powers, I'll break in again and see if Maury or Jojo can give me something. I'll trade, there has to be something they want, something I can get them to owe me. I'll run a debt, I'll fix it, there has to be a way.
