[There's no reason to care. When an enemy taunts you, you ignore them; you're being baited, and you're being lured in to a trap. 76 has every reason not to care, and to let Reaper waste his time. If nothing else, it means he's not causing trouble elsewhere, doesn't it? And 76 can certainly take it.

Embers linger, and the room - color-bleached as it's become, with 76 unaware of it since he's not paying attention - begins to warm. The air moves towards stifling, as though the oxygen is slowly being consumed to leave behind a hard-to-breathe mass of heat.

He knows he's not in self-pity. He doesn't let himself stew in that sort of thing, it's pointless and a waste of time. He knows how to redirect his own thoughts in to things more productive, such as his next move or mission-

-but it's a little hard to consider those when the reason he'd been taking mission was to assist the other two. Another whisper- a reminder that he doesn't have anyone to assist with his equipment anymore. He's on limited ammunition, and every shot counts all the more. 76 takes this thought and follows it, forcing himself to go over his rationing style because it's hardly like it's the first time he's experienced that sort of thing. Thankfully, the only really worrisome thing are the rockets, he should be good with the pulse rifle's primary fire-

It gets just a bit easier to breathe.]
