If our "Watase" sense is our closeness to the original Watase, it... makes a little sense that he probably wouldn't go out himself into a fire, but if he found himself in a fire he definitely wouldn't hesitate.

What the hell, Natsuhiko? You specifically said that you didn't have to worry about this guy wanting to kill people for now, and then you immediately mind crush him when he tries to help out your friend? Who is currently in 'Oh gently caress' levels of radiation exposure?

It's debatable that this is actually nuclear radiation rather than "BC radiation". Remember the "reactor room" was a big empty room that wasn't on fire.

Also I'm pretty sure if anything's going to trigger Watase's murder mode it's Salyu.
