[For a moment, Ryuji's too preoccupied to answer either of them- biting down on his lip as hard as he can to divert the stinging in his hands. He wants to do the thing where water starts jumping ship from his eyes, but with the combination of both Ren and Dave on the scene, that sure as hell ain't happening.]
A... ah... shit.
[Ren's goading at his hunched up figure gets him to try and turn toward his back. Slowly unfolding his hands that were clasped together to protect himself, he starts to see the damage as he brings his hands closer to his face. Electrical burns; there's raw skin that looks ripped in weird markings up one hand, and the other, the point of the current's exit, looks blistered and blotched. It's hard to keep either of them still, he's shaking- not sure if it's the after effects of being shocked, or just how goddamn horrible that looks to begin with.
He doesn't care for secrecy anymore, it just hurts and he's on his back, trying to compose himself into something that's not anymore of a mess than he already is.]
