[There's no reaction from Accelerator at the mention of murder. Violence is something he's lived with for most of his life, murder in particular is something he's committed so, so many times. Hearing about someone else doing it doesn't bother him. The most unusual aspect of it is the complexities of this relationship. It had started strong, devolved, and crumbled so badly that one attempted to murder the other, and one did murder the other.
He can't imagine that happening for anyone he cared about. He'd rather let them kill him than the other way around. That almost happened, once.
Of course, he can't blame someone else for having the survival instincts to fight back. If you want to live bad enough, you're willing to kill. He's aware of that, so there's no appalled argument coming from him. He doesn't even sound disgusted when he asks his next question, he's just curious.]
Are you trying to change that if you're in charge now? Or are you happy with the status quo?
cw: not so much suicidal ideation but being ok with being killed
