[ Your mistake, Callaghan. Now you've irrevocably two young men who should have been your star pupils. Funny how the world changes on a dime.
He says nothing all through the walk back. An occasional glance back to make sure they aren't followed - but they were thorough. Everyone was dead or knocked out, and their comms are down. IT'll be hours beefore they can talk to anyone else about this, and by then they'll be long gone. Meanwhile, Hiro just ... continues to breathe, slowly. Trying to stay calm. Briefly, he considers not going home at all after this. How can he face his brother when he has blood on his hands...? That thought pulls the rest of the world down around him, grays it out to nothingness.
But his brother would hurt worse if he didn't come home, even as a murderer. So he has to find a way to live with this, one way or another.

He stops just outside Callaghan's guesthouse. ]
Suit off. I'm destroying both of them.
