[ oda looks up from what he's doing. said thing he's doing is rolling up his pants leg to get to the wound. there's even some bottles of alcohol and some bandages on the table next to him.
his expression is dull and, when he speaks, it's similarly void of emotion. ]
It does. But it also ruins you from the inside-out, especially when you start at a young age like I did. A life stops meaning anything when you're a killer.
[ oda's breath hitches when he hears that. if justice thinks that he failed oda...that would be heartbreaking. he wouldn't know what to do with himself.
but between that and the pain he feels (it's generalized now, as if his whole body was in pain), oda still manages to compose himself enough to keep his neutral expression somewhat in place. ]
Yeah. I don't want to disappoint him more that I did today.
[ but honestly he's not capable of hearing more of this so...he's just going to stand up, with some difficulty, and make his way out the door. ]

It's fine. I won't hurt you.

At this point I don't know if I can.
no subject
I don't completely fault you for what you tried to do. Just that for practical purposes, I really wish you'd learn some chill.

and then he's back to his expressionless self. ]
I guess you're right. [ a pause. ] You're really good with a gun, for your age-- why?

[ eh he won't question it ]

You're the first person I've ever shot, though. So congrats?
[that is a very dubious honour, though.]
no subject
[ oda begins to wrap some bandages around the wound, only hissing slightly. ]
It took me a long time to learn how to only shoot to incapacitate. In comparison to shooting to kill...it's a lot harder.

Though evidently something means enough for you to be in this competition at all.

[ oda stares up at ray with wide eyes for a moment when he says that. there’s clearly something on his mind but—
he sighs. ]
