... Leanne's concern was overwhelming to the once-Reploid, so much so that he eventually glanced away from her, uncomfortable, as she asked him so many questions. Acting so worried about him when she really shouldn't be. This was all, more or less, his own fault. He accepted that. He didn't need her pity.
I'm not the one who ended up dead.
"...I'm alright," Zero eventually replied, as soft as if he were sighing. "I overestimated a dog. That's all." Plain and simple explanation; no need to elaborate further. The less time they spent on this subject, the better.
A pause, he continuing to look down at the table and away from Leanne, and then he added, "Don't worry about me. I'm okay." If he didn't sound so monotone, that would have come out as the almost plea he intended it to be. He'd come to sit with Leanne to be reassured by a cheerful face (and to make sure she was alright, as well)...he'd never intended to discuss his personal issues with her.
It's cool! Hope it got fixed ^^
