[ they went to narnia yea ]

... yeah. Well, this [ he points to his bandaged foot ] was from when we fell into the river.

Right, but I meant... Your eye. I mean, that seems a lot more serious.

Huh?

[ he moves to touch his eye, his hand stopping when it reaches the bandage. ]

... I guess, yeah.

You guess? Does that mean it's better than it looks? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'll be really glad if it is.

[He has many doubts, though.]

Seriously, though, man... You going to be alright?

[ he does not answer if it's better than it looks because he is pretty sure they are going to make him remove the bandage at trial which will reveal any lie he says right now. so. ]

I'll be fine. I'll just have to get used to it.

...Right. But, like - apart from physically...?

[There is probably a non-awkward way to ask that, but. Here we are.]

... fine.

[ he just

sounds confused ]

[After a moment:]

Are you just not sure about that, or...?

[ ... ]

... well, people die here all the time, so I can't get too stuck on what happened.

...I'm not sure this is the kind of thing where how often it happens impacts how much it really, really sucks.

[Or, it shouldn't, at least.]

... no.

But you'll go crazy if you think about it too much.

[ he shakes his head. ]

There's really not much to say. We could have done a lot of things differently and maybe she would still be alive.

...It wasn't your fault. I don't think she'd want you to blame yourself, either.

... probably not.

It's just such an unnecessary death on top of everything else that's happening here.
