Wow you are really not getting this whole "trapped in a murder box" thing are you?
It wasn't a long walk back to the truck, where Rin stopped and not so gently dropped Shiro on the passenger seat.
"Okay first off, you're not goin' anywhere. I said 'trapped' and I meant it. I've been in this hell hole for almost four months, okay? The barrier keeps anyone from physical leavin', and trust me, a lot of people have tried. Most of them died."
That much said, he reached around behind the seats, digging around (and slipping the sword off his shoulder to shove it back there, just enough out of reach that Shiro would have to physically crawl over the seat or get out to get to it. He came back with a few towels, stained and old looking but otherwise clean.
"You're bleedin'. You might wanna hold these on it until we get to the clinic."
Towels shoved at him, he moved to the driver's side and got in, but he didn't start the truck up.
"Second. Yukio is an exorcist. I'm in trainin'. And that sword? Was given to me by my father."
Shiro, that is. But Rin was actually finding some semblance of tact for once. He was going to have to say something that would likely break the brain of the person he was speaking to, but if he had to pick the lesser of two evils here he was going to go with the one that didn't involve the words "by the way I'm your son".
"You're the Paladin, right? I recognize you. Thing is... that sword? It's given to me in 2011. Don't ask me how the hell it happened, this place does fucking insane things, but I'm pretty damn sure you're not from any time close to that."
It sounds crazy even saying it, crazier still that he can figure out Shiro wanting sword = obviously from way before certain events, but even he knows that's the only damn explanation for any of this.
He hopes you're happy, techs. This is absolute emotional torture for him.
