[ The urge to turn around when he hears the door open is sharp, but John reins it in, keeps control of it. He wants to check on Accelerator, see that he's safe here, but he also knows he should let Accelerator make the first move. Maybe he doesn't want to talk at all. But it's a relief when he's approached and he does turn then, looking away from the camera feeds for the first time since he sat down. ]
I didn't do much. Harold took care of most of it.
[ Harold kept the situation under control, handled everything in his precise way and didn't leave room for John to go out for revenge. Carrying that small body back to the library had filled him with desperation to go find the assailant and make him pay, but Harold had stepped in, called the truce, left John with no recourse but to wait. But he still feels it burning in his chest as he hears Accelerator's unsure greeting, even as he knows Harold chose the right path. There's a tightness in his voice that isn't usually there, as if he's having to work harder than usual to keep an even tone. ]
