But no matter, he doesn't let that outwardly phase him, and instead takes it out on a demon that's snuck up on him. Using that to get off a punch and kick to send it flying with the kitsune's strength.]
Why should it MATTER what version of you is you? You're still Jiang Cheng! You're still MY-- you're still my brother dammit, even if you aren't the one I know!
[At least he wants to still be the man's brother, no matter how little of a chance he has of that ever happening again.]
