He carefully put a hand on his older brother's shoulder - on the back, having taken note of where he was rubbing. He carefully pressed his fingers into Takatora's shoulder, doing his best to avoid the injury and just rub the muscle around it.]

You should have seen someone... you should have gotten this taken care of. I knew something was wrong. You shouldn't have hid something like that from me - I could have helped you. At least understood better.

[He placed his other hand on his brother's other shoulder, leaning in enough that the other could feel his breath.]

I don't like it when you keep secrets from me, nii-san. I want you to be able to trust me. I can't help you if you don't.
