[That's like... his Thing, staring at his hand!! Let him catch a shooting star and wish for a talent, okay? The kind of talent that would have let him go out and help turn the gravity back on, before Rogue drowned. Something to keep the paralysis at bay. If he were a real doctor, and not just a kid playing pretend with first-aid learned from a guy born in the 1400s.
It kind of makes him angry, too, having Ryuji just dismiss it like that. Then again, where Ryuji's from, talent isn't the be-all, end-all. There's no way he could understand.
He drops his hand to the blankets and just sighs, closing his eyes. And regretting that, because talking about Rogue and closing his eyes makes it that much easier to think about the motionless body in the infirmary.]
...Yeah, [he says finally, forcing his eyes open again. He doesn't sound convinced, but he doesn't want to argue. Not tonight.] Maybe.
[He rolls onto his side, then lets out a short laugh.] I don't know how this is supposed to make it easier to sleep, you know.
[If anything, he's just more stressed out after talking about things.]
