"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"
[ No, he could. He did. All the violence back in Shizume, all those innocent people he could have saved in the time he was gone... They weren't his fault, but he could have done something.
After HOMRA's disbandment, he couldn't do anything. ]
But when I saw you go after him, I felt like I could do it. Like I was myself again, y'know?
[ He'd often go off on his own, but it looks like there are still some things he can't do alone. ]
This place is like my hometown—it's a dump. But I've always wanted to change it.
Yang doesn't entirely understand that, wondering what he had been all this time, but it's not her place to ask-- and she respects that. He's explaining more than she'd expected, as is. ]
There's nothing wrong with that. You worked hard today-- seriously, you were pretty cool.
And I don't know about you, but I kind of want to do something about this part.
Aight, so I've been thinking about it for a while, yeah?
[ A WHILE, HE SAYS... Yang was really upset about not having a nickname, okay. ]
It'd be cool if you got something related to your powers and stuff, so I was working with that theme in mind. It was kinda hard, but I think I finally got it! From now on, you can be Bomb...shell...
[ Can she imagine Yata calling out "BOMBSHELL!" in the middle of a fight, though? It's embarrassing. But she likes it, and it's not like he can take it back, so... ]
