[Otto won't insist that Norman has nothing to apologize for, even if he thinks that's true. He knows it wouldn't make him feel much better. He just waits for Norman to meet his eyes again and smiles - no hard feelings at all.
And it's true, of course, the Goblin really never did hurt him. Losing the actuator was inconvenient and disorienting, somewhere between losing a limb and an eye, but he was never foolish enough to put pain receptors in the things.
(That first encounter with Max was what hurt, but he doesn’t entirely pin that on the Goblin. Max made his own choices.)]
I know. You aren't the first person to tell me that. But I've stolen too much from too many people already, I can't - I can't just let it go. Especially not when I've got unlimited funds for two months! [He's trying to be a little more light-hearted about it.]
