[ but her expression sours again just as fast. ]

Someone deliberately targeted him, and we failed to protect him.

[alttitude]

[his expression might harden when he feels the force of her punch - but he doesn't flinch. there's just an exhale and -

it stings. he'd cut his hand when he moved the chandelier off of natsuo's body, cut it worse when he picked up the body itself and found the shards and debris. the bandages on his hand might start to bloody again but he just pulls his hand back before 2b can notice, he hopes.]

.... you're right. We failed.

But you can't punish yourself for it when there are still more people here that need to be protected.

[ hm. problematic. ]

Jae-ha...

[ too late, because even if she doesn't manage to catch it, something alerts her to the sudden presence of blood anyway. she bites her lip as she reaches for his hand. ]

I'm sorry.

[alttitude]

[ah - jae-ha laughs faintly even as he opens his hand to her. a bit of blood seeps through the bandages, coloring it red, but he just shakes his head]

It's not from you - if that's what you're worried about.

It doesn't hurt much at all... [it feels fine to him???] but I don't mind that expression on your face.

[ once again, she brushes off the compliment to focus on the bleeding. why is he like this. ]

I reopened the wound. Let me see.

[ ... even though she has no real experience with first aid for organic beings. rip. ]

[alttitude]

[look, she's trying and he appreciates it. but regardless he'll offer his hand out to her and should she undo the bandages, she'll find that it's just a handful of cuts from the glass shards. he didn't seem to mindful of them outside of the basic first aid]

I've had much worse.
