Left-Behind Trace [Open]
WHO: Togusa and people!
WHERE: The hospital, oops.
WHEN: January 7th and onwards.
WHAT: Togusa got shot, he's in the hospital, and finally knows how his Other got shot.
WARNINGS: Discussion of violence, medical treatment, and the like.
The news probably didn't take long to reach a lot of people. Togusa got brought to the hospital with a gunshot wound. Togusa's official story is that he got shot stopping an opportunistic mugger trying to steal things in the chaos of the fire. So what actually happened?

"Yeah. I am. Because it wasn't him. Whoever the other guy in his head is, he's the one I have a problem with."
Because if Malik is at fault for the asshole in his head, then it means James is just as irredeemable as the Winter Soldier, or whatever weird half-version of him was running around the city all summer. In James's head, forgiving Malik and forgiving himself (at least enough to live with himself) are inextricably linked. They're too similar--there can't be one without the other, and vice versa. So he has to forgive him.
(Even though he still wallows in guilt sometimes anyway.)
