[ It helps that Mega doesn't cry out. It doesn't help that there's apparently memories spilling into his mind -- giving him insight into who Ice Man actually is, showing happier moments that for some reason Tech Boy never believed existed. When he heard the stories, he somehow imagined Mega never knew them before they changed. He realizes, now, he was confusing Mega's experiences with Proto's. Now he has a mental picture to go with the name that gives this whole thing a more twisted meaning.
C comes next, a curving letter that he has to grimace and look away from as the blood rises. Mega says they're both going to be okay and maintains strength throughout, but if that scar remains... If Tech has to see it day in and day out knowing he's the one who put it there, it will only be a reminder that he hurts the people he cares about. (Both intentionally and unintentionally.) He hopes Mega's right that the clinic can heal this.
E follows and he looks up to make sure Mega's okay. One word down, one more to go. ]
