[He would have loved to stay on the topic of broken arms, and not simply because it offers more chances for self-flagellation. Human anatomy is a breeze for Accelerator, he can run through all the gory details that occur when a person breaks their arm, the different kinds of bone fractures, typical medical aid in such cases, and the biology behind the healing process. It's all just science, and science is easy.
What isn't easy is that damn question. His glare deepens as Endo smoothly shifts the conversation backwards, and he has to work to come with an answer that isn't going to result in more teasing.]
.... I don't like most people.
[Which is technically true. Most people are annoying, aggravating, and he dislikes them in any kind of platonic sense. Of course, he's guessing Endo doesn't just mean platonic, though in the romantic sense it's the same. He's read plenty of novels and manga over the years that happened to include some romantic subplot or another (since he's never had friends to discuss dating and such that kind of situation isn't occurring to him), and he can safely say he never felt like what he read towards another person. Has he had complicated feelings towards another person that weren't easily categorized? Yes, he supposes, once. But that's —
That's something else. He's sure of it. And Endo is... barely tolerable? Or something else as well. He isn't really sure.
So what's left is his answer. It should be simple, but his ears are turning red and he has to fight the urge to fidget again. To compensate for his growing embarrassment, his expression turns combative.]

Is that a problem?
