⠀He has to give it to the guy; he's direct and easy to decipher. Not many he speaks to are like that, especially when under watch of the higher ups.
“ …Well, try not to die from it? ” He utters with a hint of sympathy. “ I don't think that'd be fun if you did. ”
𝗞𝗔𝗜𝗡⠀⠀。
“I don’t mind. I, obviously, know nothing of it either.”
Doesn’t seem like Tomio even cares to know either, judging by the disinterested look to him… Then again, he’s looked like that the whole conversation.

⠀“ …Oh. ” He sounds a little disappointed between his stern words, but he looks away to hide any sense of feeling that may have portrayed itself on his face. “ I'm not very good with knowing medical science. ” He admits, a little embarrassed in hindsight ―― His job had no use for the information ↷
𝗞𝗔𝗜𝗡⠀⠀。
“As far as I’m concerned, no. Just something one has to deal with.”
Tomio doubts any treatment would work on him anyway. After all, he is technically dead.
“I forgot what it’s called… Postural something or order.”

⠀'Oh well' is not the response one would expect to such a comment; that much he knows. Humans and their feelings always provided an endless stream of questions he wasn't nearly well equipped to answer.
“ Uh, ” He pauses again, like the cat just seemingly keeps catching his tongue. ↷
𝗞𝗔𝗜𝗡⠀⠀。
“Probably not, no.”
He wants to make the joke and say 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡, 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙞𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙮 𝙚𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚… But, he can’t if he wished to keep the human illusion up.
“Oh well, I guess.”

⠀Eyes shift aside for a moment, lips parting to say something before promptly shutting so he can reconsider his words.
“ That doesn't sound healthy. ” He finally speaks; hesitancy lingering in his tone. He can't imagine he can do anything for afflictions, so he won't offer meaningless words.
𝗞𝗔𝗜𝗡⠀⠀。
“I mean, I pass out if I stand up too fast and get chest pains, so I would say yes. I’m used to it, though.”
Tomio doesn’t seem to mind— after all, he speaks with a deep monotone on default, paired with an expression devoid of emotion.

⠀“ That's very unfortunate. ” He'd zoned out the discussion but this might have been important; maybe troubling? He couldn't be sure and didn't want to assume too hard ―― Assume something could be fixed.
“ Does it trouble you? ” Stern words full of an odd, almost emotionless care.

“No, it’s an issue I was born with…”
