VOICE | UN: GREENCYBORG

I cannot-- [ Let's start again. ]

For those who do not know... I am Genji.

There is rarely a time that I feel I should apologize for my entire existence, but the amount of embarrassment that I feel upon having to relive the memories of my younger... more impertinent self... calls for it.

What? For real?

[He sounds a bit surprised, but not quite for the reasons Genji would be expecting.]

Yes.

I wouldn't joke about something like that.

I don't care if you joke about it or not, I'm not the cyborg here.

It is.

It took me awhile to accept that much, too.

Yeah. Can't imagine too many people'd be cool with it right off the bat.

[ A small nod. He has a moment of uncertainty of what to say. It is something that he confirmed and brought up himself, but still he feels a bit embarrassed about how long it took him to be "cool" with it, and doesn't quite feel like he should lament about the past anymore than he is. ]

But to change topics, I remember you. You're the man who was killing those bugs before. I'm still quite impressed with your skill. I could not bring myself to get too close to them, myself. I may have mentioned that before, but ... ah... just thinking about them still makes my skin squirm.

Yeah, I remember you, too, and thought how weird it was you seemed grossed out by them. They were just little bugs.

[Little as in the size of small-to-medium dogs but . . . but still, pretty small.]

... your calm continues to impress me.

...They were just bugs. What's there not to be calm about?

[He is so bemused. It's nice he was being complimented, but over squishing a few bugs? Genji was a weird guy.]

... they were extremely disgusting for bugs...

That's true, at least. But you should be less creeped out by bugs, you're a guy, right? Didn't you go bug hunting as a kid?

Just because I am a guy does not mean that I have to be okay with them.

And... no... I was more indoors and enjoyed videogames.

Ah, one of those kind of kids. That explains it.

I hope it only explains why I don't like bugs and nothing else about me.

Don't know you enough yet to answer that honestly.

Somehow, I'm very relieved to hear that answer.

Though, I cannot tell you why.

Because the truth always sucks.

[Such wise words. That's why he's someone's sensei.]

[ A beat before he starts laughing. ]

That it does, Saitama!

Well. Sounds like you're in a better mood now.

Being away from such creatures puts me in a better mood.

For your sake, let's hope the place they're gonna be taking us has no bugs, then.

I may ask to rely on you some if that turns out to be the case, Saitama...

[Shrugs, scratching at his ear.]

Sure, just give me a call on this jewelry stuff, and I'll come swat flies for ya.

[Might be as close to heroing activities as he'll get, saving a cyborg from bugs. At least Genji shows gratitude.]

[ He cannot help but laugh. ]

Thank you. You're a savior.

[His stoic face breaks a but as a small, half-grin appears. He can't help but feel a little pleased when faced with a genuine shows of gratitude, even if it was just for a few bugs.]

Okay, then. See ya later.
