[Turning the water off, Genji turns to regard Carlisle, his eyes flicking over the missing skin and bones visible in his face. After seeing his hands, he had expected something like that - but still, being confronted with it is slightly different and his eyes widen just a bit. ]
Even the best intentions can go awry - we can never be sure of the outcome of anything even if we may wish it so.
[Created monsters. Necrotic energy. It definitely sounds like what is afflicting this man is similar to what turned Reyes into Reaper. But he seems to be unable to control his energies and is suffering for it, because of what he had done to others, not what had been done to himself. Genji knows a thing or two about suffering and being consumed with despair and constant reminders of past mistakes.]
You survived for a reason, what you do with that is up to you, but if you wish to do good I am sure there is a still a way for you to accomplish that. Your energies feed on your emotions? Then you learn to control them, to focus only on that which you wish them to do.
[He reaches up to his helmet, fully pulling the visor free, eyes focused on that, now in his hand instead of Carlisle. Behind the mask he's horribly scarred, several deep gouges across his cheeks and nose that were inflicted long enough ago that the discoloration has faded, but not the damage. Metal plating continues down from his temples to form his jaw, a thin ridge through it where the visor would slide into place. When he speaks the scars on his cheeks crinkle at the edges, a constant reminder he can feel even while wearing the mask.]
You did not come so far to give up now and be defeated by despair. I believe you will find a way to make it right.
