[It's about the first time that those sentiments have felt something close to believable for Genji. If Jack managed to get through a period of time that awful, where even existing was a struggle, and come out the other side like this... maybe Genji can too. Maybe. He's not a soldier, nothing but a spoiled mob prince violently cast down and irreparably changed, but perhaps this is more incentive to at least try.
Genji is silent at the mention of Mercy, head turning away.]
I have.
[Not entirely a lie. Mercy knows the worst of it, of course, that's entirely unavoidable. But the rest? No. Genji, frankly, hasn't been very complicit in his own healing. Too busy rejecting and being disgusted by the state he's been left in. He functions well enough in front of others and on missions, when his mind can be occupied by something, but downtime leaves him too much to contemplate himself.
He won't admit that he attacked those gunrunners on purpose, knowing full well it wasn't a force he could take on his own. That for a moment having his limbs destroyed had been a twisted sort of relief. He couldn't let himself die, of course, not until the Shimada had been felled, but taking damage? That was a different story.
Still, he knows he has to be careful. Too reckless and Overwatch may consider him more trouble than he's worth.]
