[ Joshua is in no state to be using his own power. If he had been, he would have used it long ago.
There's almost a moment of hesitation, knowing that Neku's here, knowing what sort of impact this will have. But every muscle is shaking with an instinctual fear that he can't rid himself of, and he could swear he can feel Sanae's vibe and his power on his skin, and he's pretty sure that the taint on his Soul wasn't quite so large the last time he saw him, and is it growing even now? How many moments until that taint is too much, until Sanae's selfishness takes over again, until whatever this is claims Josh's body for just long enough that it's easy for Hanekoma to do something, something to Erase him and it would look like a simple accident to Neku, oh what a pity, dear old Mr. H. didn't make it in time.
And he gave Sanae warning, which in itself might have been more than he probably deserved. Joshua's body tenses for a moment, and then he forces his muscles into action, hoping that he can just get the gun pointed at Sanae before he's stopped, or before his finger twitches just a little too much.
The loud bang in his ears startles even Joshua himself. ]
