"You okay, Addison?" Jin asked, rubbing her back as they rode on the back of the phoenix.
"Y-Yeah. I just wasn't expecting exploding heads to be on the menu today." She groaned.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it." He reassured her.
Addison didn't know if she was thankful for Jin's reassurance or scared at the fact that he said she would get used to the sight of exploding heads.
"How many heads have you seen explode?" She wanted to know. Because this wasn't a normal thing to get used to. Blood, sure. Broken bones, sure. Mutilation, maybe. But exploding heads? Nope.
"I simply mean you'll get used to the blood and gore. Trust me. I saw my parents die in front of my eyes. Blood, guts, and everything. When you're traumatized once, you're traumatized forever. It doesn't go away, just gets better or worse depending on your situation." Jin looked a bit grim.
"What are you?" Addison asked. "Because it looks like it didn't affect you."
