"It is. It feels like.." He trails off, rotating his metal arm around and rubbing at his shoulder. "If you stay in one place too long and your foot falls asleep, when the blood flows back it feels as though your veins are full of ground glass. It is similar, but constant. The sensors in the armor do not feel .. right. Or the way I expect it to, perhaps this is the way it's supposed to work." He rubs his metal palm with his thumb. He doesn't want to sound ungrateful, especially since he'd have been dead otherwise. The fact that he's not only alive but walking and able to interact with things is genuinely a scientific miracle.

But he can't help but be bitter he had to become this science experiment to begin with.

"I am? He does?" Genji blinks and looks over at Jack's face, wondering if he's making that up to try and be nice. Though it doesn't seem like the Commander would make up much of anything. There's probably an edict somewhere that would get him court marshaled if he lied to one of his recruits, even about something so minor.

"Thank you."

Like a man condemned to death he approaches Angela to confess his failures, met with her chiding him and being more than a little exasperated he'd waited this long to get aid.

How he suffers.
