"I will be fine, love. It will be okay until tommorrow." Jo cuts her off.

"You've helped me enough over the years, sweetheart. I'm sure it will be fine until tomorrow. Just take a break from worrying for one night, okay?"

"Worrying isn't logical, but whatever you say." he shrugs.

He unwraps the bandages, letting them fall to the floor.

The skin around the entry wounds looks red and puckered, but not infected.

"See? They're fine."

The bullet holes - six, in total - are hidden once more as Jo rewraps them.

"It doesn't matter."

Jo sighs.

"No. Killing is not the same as torture, Nikki. Torture, sure, it weighs on you. But you don't have to live with the burden of knowing that there is physical blood on your hands, that you have ended a life. That person's existance becomes a part of you, slowly eating away at you. It's a disease, Nikki. It's a cancer that slowly kills you. I don't want that for you. You can afford to live with yourself, you've never directly killed someone. Or killed someone ever. Me. . . my whole life has been death and blood. There is a reason why I am the way I am, and it isn't just my base nature." he murmurs.

Jo takes a breath.

"Use my full name every once in a while. . ." he murmurs in reply.

Deleted user

Jo shakes his head.

"Forget I asked. . ." he mutters, standing up and going into his room, closing and locking the door, leaving Nikki to the baseboards.
