[It takes him a long moment to respond; his expression doesn't flicker, and at first it seems as though he's frozen up.
But then he moves, and when he does so it's sudden and all at once; he jerks away from where he's been holding onto Jaeger, breaking off contact entirely and staggering back a few steps. He's obviously forcing himself to do it, but it's decisive, at least.
He lets himself take a knee on the floor once he's done it, the gesture graceless and awkward but he doesn't seem to care about that; it isn't long before he's brought both hands up over the spot where that device is attached to his chest.
It's difficult, and his breathing is strange and labored, but he's trying very, very hard not to hurt you.]
