He doesn't want to. As soon as he realizes what he's seeing, he wants to turn it off. He wants to look away, as though if he does none of this will be happening, none of it will be real.
But on some level, that would feel like a disservice to the horror he's allowed to continue for...how long? And so Kotetsu watches to the end, feeling his heart wrench tighter and tighter, feeling like he's going to be sick then and there, feeling a scream building up in his chest as he sees Frisk and Bunny...
As he hears someone speak to Barnaby in his own voice. As he sees Adam come stalking lazily into the camera's field of view, a cat circling its prey. A bloody knife in his hands, and cruel words coming so easily to his lips. Mockery, taunts, insults, and at last...
"You're going to die now," Barnaby's twin says, with clear and evident relish in his tone. "And Kotetsu is never going to know it."
Frisk is sobbing and screaming around oh god that's a muzzle. Barnaby just looks so...tired. So defeated. Like even now, bearing so many visible wounds both new and old on his body, he can't understand why his brother is doing this to him. He tries to say something. Tries to ask, persuade, cajole. But he doesn't beg. Kotetsu will be proud of him for that later. Barnaby does not beg for his life.
But Kotetsu does beg. There, outside the room he was supposed to be sharing with his boyfriend, he watches Adam grab Barnaby's hair and pull his head back and Kotetsu whimpers an endless plea of "no, no, no..." as though it will make any difference now.
"Close your eyes, Frisk," Barnaby whispers, and then the knife flashes down. Kotetsu has just enough time to see the ragged red line open on Barnaby's throat. Has just enough time to see his partner choke on his own blood, and see the realization rise in his beautiful green eyes that he's dying.
Then the phone snaps in half in his grip. Kotetsu has no words left - just the scream of helpless rage and hopeless despair that boils out of him at last. He doubles over, hands fisted in his hair and tears blinding him, and feels the world coming apart around him until one real and true fact remains. One thing to hold on to.
Barnaby's murderer is just beyond the door right next to him.
Bunny's killer is sleeping in their bed.
If the scream didn't wake Adam, the door slamming open will probably do the job. Kotetsu stands in the doorway, glowing bright blue, tears in his eyes and the purest loathing on his face.

"You."
He wastes no time. He lunges.
