It isn't exactly easy to get over what happened, especially since it happened so recently. Not that Accelerator regrets for an instant that night, but... well, life doesn't exactly prepare you for traumatic brain injuries. It throws you into the deep end and expects you to sink or swim.
He isn't really surprised Donnie is asking. They know each other well enough that the question isn't an awkward or rude one, so he doesn't mind it. He's already discussed it with Leo and that had gone pretty well, it was nice to be able to get it out in the open and reflect on it a little, so....
"One of the scientists working on my development shot me in the head," Accelerator replies bluntly, reaching up to jab a finger square in the middle of his forehead. "I pissed him off, and I guess he was really desperate."
And terrified. He was never going to forget just how utterly terrified Amai had been. The guy had been practically frothing at the mouth.
He shakes his head, and continues in his usual seriously tired tone. "I had my reflection down at the time. I got it back up before the bullet could kill me, but it still shattered my skull and caused a brain hemorrhage. I know there's usually a memory loss around when an injury like that happens, but I still remember everything leading up to it, and then blacking out, and waking up for a couple of minutes before it really got to me and I went unconscious."
