[He is absolutely screwing around. He's stalling, because he thought just threatening would be enough to make Min see reason. At the same time, it's enough for Ryan to know Min clearly isn't himself. Min - the Min he knows anyway - wouldn't want him to hurt himself under any circumstances, for any reason.
This is so fucked up.
Maybe it's more fucked that he's actually thinking about stabbing himself a little to prove a point?
Maybe they're both just fucked up irreparably now.
...No, that one's exactly as overdramatic as Min accused him of being. But the thought still stings, and the smile falls off his face.]
You're the one being the dramatic asshole. This literally isn't something you need to do right now and you know it. I know you know it, so honestly? Fuck you for spinning it back on me.
[It's shitty. Was he this shitty when he was corrupted? That's probably unfair to think about it that way, but he can't help it. He's been trying to help Min the way Min helped him, but he's been meeting so much resistance.
It's paradoxical, but. ...Maybe he's just not as good a person. Not as patient a person.]
But if you seriously want my help, then...
[Ryan raises the knife. He shuts his eyes tight. For a second, it really seems like he's going to just stab down recklessly. He feels so fucking sick just thinking about it.]
