You come after me and I'll stay away from you longer. Just give me some space! [In fact Knives may feel that his brother, who once was close to home, suddenly is turning away and walking away.]
[There's a moment where Legato's final memory from his world comes to Knives's mind. He sees Vash standing above Legato before he pulls the trigger. Vash can feel a pike of panic before he remembers that Vash would be devasted if he had actually killed Legato.
That's why the version of him in Legato's world had incorporated that death into his plan.]
What the fuck Vash?
[He is going to leave the house now, but instead of going to find Vash, he's going to find Legato. He moves to get a coat while still communicating with Vash.]
What do you mean: what the fuck!? Don't send him after me! I thought he was going to hurt someone else to force me home! Don't tell him he has to bring me home or else! This isn't my fault!
He was torturing people to insist I go home! He tried to make me kill someone! That is what is wrong! It's not me! It's him and you! You can't control me, Knives! That's not what a good brother does.
Oh, and how have I been a good brother? Was it when I took your arm? Maybe when I tried to absorb you? When I let Legato hold you for eight months? When I let your double fuck me? Please let me know why exactly you think I care about being a 'good brother?'
You wha---?! [Nope. Nope. Nope. Vash doesn't want to hear it repeated. He's just going to duck into this alleyway and throw up. It takes a bit for Vash to steady himself enough to speak again.]
You said you wanted things to be different here between us. Prove that to me. Leave me alone for tonight. [He doesn't think he could stomach looking at his brother right now.]
Good. I'll see you tomorrow and don't ever send him after me again. [He's going to go head towards the beach. Although it will be freezing and he likely won't get any sleep it will be better than being around his brother right now. Plus he won't be around anyone who might get hurt if Knives changes his mind.]
[Knives doesn't change his mind. Although his desire to have his brother with him doesn't go away, he spends the night focused entirely on Legato and leaves Vash alone for now.]

If you're not hurt then I'll see you tomorrow morning. I'm camping out tonight. Maybe tomorrow you'll be more clear headed again.

What happened to Legato? He wouldn't stop coming after you on his own.
no subject
He wouldn't take no for an answer and I shot him. [He's not very proud of that.]

[...]
You're not planning on hurting him, are you? The only thing he did wrong was listen to you and he did the best he could with the order.

He does me no good if he's broken.
