[It would be easy if he was gloating. But in reality, this is just the way that his simmering anger manifests. He can't bear to show his darker side, typically buried so deep enough under his infinite patience and altruism that he can pretend it doesn't exist. The only way he can really welcome it into his life is by standing on the precipice of levity over the trench that would be left behind when everything else has been spent.
If it turns out to be a lie, Dolph might as well.
He stake everything on it. His security and livelihood were collateral damage in the name of saving that "terrorist", the only one who allowed him to hear the silenced voices of Eden. None of it is a lie, but is it true? Did he really succeed...or was Ramon's fate to walk on bodies, even when he never intended to?
He might as well.
Ramon has no retort, no quip, no sign-off. His eyes carefully track Dolph as the distance between them yawns. Whatever small victory this is doesn't change the fact that not only does he know he's still firmly on the top of Dolph's shitlist, but also he's stuck in this library, held hostage by anyone's refusal to admit they've done anything wrong -- while Ramon would willingly paint the walls with his own blood if it made up for even a fraction of his mistakes. It's really a question of who will snap and do it first: himself or Laserhawk?
Ramon's head lightly bounces against the wall when he kicks it back to let out an uneasy sigh, closing his eyes and sitting with the throbbing ache of his body.

It's going to be a long detention.]
