[Ogata makes a mental note to bother Alex about that first fucking statement later because hm what the fuck. Another person who's supposed to be dead like Mia Fey? Maybe.

Again, he's quiet for a long moment, aside from slightly, increasingly labored breathing.]

Why?
[Finally, simply.]

[ That's a wonderful question. And yet, Alex has an answer almost immediately. ]

'Cause I've seen way too much death already. And I'm ready to fucking do something about it.

[ A heavy sigh. ]

Now, if you'll excuse me... I'm gonna make sure you don't keel over.

[The shitty part of Ogata’s brain considers giving up and actively trying to keel over and die at that. Just to be spiteful. But despite all he says he does really want to die.

Maybe some small part of him doesn’t hate what Alex is saying. Either way, he doesn’t respond further. Just leaves Alex to run around and figure out how he’s going to help. Much later, after some chaos and arrests, Dr. Tank is finally summoned to the brig and takes care of business. He comes out looking irritated, but hands Alex a folded piece of paper before he heads back to the Medbay. Though it came from the good doctor, the message clearly isn’t from him. In neat, tiny handwriting where the letters are so narrow that some of them are hard to read;]

I suppose you did something about it.
[A thanks, in a way. As close as one could possibly expect from Ogata.]
