Once Isaac heard the ting of the bullet hitting the metal tray he felt some relief, maybe that was the thing that was causing Ryoma so much pain was gone now? Maybe that marked the beginning of the end of all of this suffering?

He noted the panic in the air seemed to die down and he began to approach Ryoma slowly, trying to tilt his head at a certain angle so that he could get a better view of what was going on. "Is it better?" he attempted to ask, whilst general hospital noises and talking nurses tried to blanket out Isaac's small tone.
