(It should be obvious enough that Amos isn't exactly okay, either; he just happens to have a lifetime of burying traumatic things that have happened to him to the point that as far as he's concerned, they don't actually affect him. Even if they do, what does it mean if there's no conscious acknowledgment?)
Amos eyes him, lowers his hand finally. ]
Yeah, if you had enough money for the high quality stuff. Fingers, arms... probably whatever, but when I was with my people back home I was the only one ever really getting shot, so I was the only one who ever needed it. Just the one time, too. Knew some guys who weren't as lucky.
[ ... Also, here, he isn't the only one getting shot. Getting hurt. It's kinda upsetting, actually. But Misa had already kinda told him off for trying to take that burden all on himself, so he probably shouldn't dwell on it. It's not like he and Gen were even in the same city, anyway. There's nothing he could've done there.
Even if it hurts a little; more than his own actual, physical injuries.
He gives a small tilt of his head in the direction of Gen's sleeve. What isn't there anymore. ]
Was thinking of building myself some prosthetics. Could try to make something for you too, if you wanted. Won't be as good as the real thing, but. [ He shrugs. It's adapting. ] You could stick a knife on the other end or something. Probably get a lot of use out of that.
[ There isn't any change in his voice as he says it; it's both an attempt at cheering Gen up and. Kinda a serious offer. Why punch when you can stab? It's not the worst alternative. ]
