The quiet lasted this time, Trunks taking his time before responding quietly. "Thea..." Why was he opening up? Why now?
Because he'd seen the terror in Thea's eyes, but he'd also seen Jayne use it as a way to cope, and he was trying to understand. Hopefully without hurting anyone else, depending on what he decided to do. "My mother is the only one still alive who I'm close to, in my world. Everyone else, including my father, died when I was barely a toddler except for Gohan." A pause, not realizing how his shoulders had tensed up, or his voice had gone low. Trying to keep a rein on his emotions, on the memories. "Gohan was like a big brother, and my master. He taught me...and he died when I was 13."
Letting that all hang, before looking her straight in the eyes. "I understand rage, from losing people you care about." Kami, he understood rage.
