[Years of meditation, of peaceful reveries, of a quiet mind, cannot change the simple fact that silence can be deadly. Uncertainty twists its knife into Zenyatta's core, and though he tries to rationalise Genji's hesitation as plainly understandable- it is an absurd question, even under the best of circumstances- a small but vocal line in his processor suggests that the conversation is already over.
