GUYS. GUYS.
[ No, he doesn't care if he's going to wake up everyone with this. He just looks so. excited. Like more excited than any rational person has any right to be. This is a normal state of being for America, but considering the circumstances, it may seem a little... odd. The camera gives a nice clear view of the mushroom cloud from the roof, then goes over to America's smiling face. ]
GUYS, DID YOU SEE?! SOMEONE SET OFF A BOMB! Okay, yeah, I'm a little annoyed that someone else has got some, and someone I don't know, but since Russia isn't around it can't be him or any of his allies, but still! Look at it!
[ The screen wavers a bit as he starts to pace around. The camera is now trained back towards the cloud. And yet he still jabbers on. ]
How big d'ya think that yield is? Couple hundred kilotons? I've done that. These guys have gotta be amateurs or something. One time I made this one that was 15 megatons and it just incinerated the island I was using. Just gone! If this one is more than that, I've gotta get some tips from these guys. Not that I need 'em! I'm gettin' better every day! And I bet I have more!
Mannnn, this makes me miss my test site. I'd always get to see the new stuff and the guys would even get me a bowl of popcorn. HEY, TATSUMI, MAKE ME SOME POPCORN AND MEET UP HERE!
[ He finally stops pacing and turns the camera away from the cloud. His head tilts a bit while he stares at it. ]
I wonder if that was just a test. Or that whoever set it off is friendly. If they're not, I should be talking to them about how to use their stuff responsibly! It's my job as the hero after all! This all kinda reminds me that I should be thinking about stuff for back home too, with Russia still being a fucking whackjob and all. I bet I could get a yield higher than the one out there. Just gotta figure out where to test it!
[ He looks like he's about to say more, but instead he just sits down and stares. Just freaking stares like he's watching TV or something. ]

[Why did he do it. Simple enough... He likes to think America can pick it up from that. In this situation at least.]
action
A lot of reasons. By the time it happened... I just wanted ya to stop. You were hurting a lot of people, not just mine. I tried to get ya to stop before, but it was like I couldn't go an inch without treading over the corpse of one of my boys. You were too prideful and didn't know how to quit while you were ahead. It reminded me of, well, me, and still I got angry.
I guess revenge was a part of it. Money too. Bombs are expensive. But I like to think about the people I was helping, not the ones I hurt. I helped you too. No lie, I did. And after the war, I stuck around to make sure you got better.
[ He chews his chapped lip and looks away. ]
I just wanted to help.
action
He wasn't thinking so.]
I do not give up... [He looks down at that, trying to understand. Just two, China said. Two... and he... surrendered? Had America threatened to use more? It was such an impossible situation, it was a little difficult to imagine it.]
America-san should remember that. [Almost a warning...]
