[Unless he finds some other means, Near is completely aware that his shoulder will take weeks to fully heal. And he's not about to expose a vulnerability to so many unknowns. So he may just have to deal with it. He hates it, but it's the reality of the situation.
[He steps back to allow Mello in, probably more than he needs to. Near of course always prefers to keep a physical distance from people, but this time he unconsciously moves back more than he would under other circumstances.
[Once Mello enters, he closes the door, mentally debates with himself for a moment. It's more than obvious that Mello intends to leave, that he's ashamed of what happened and believes himself to be unwelcome here anymore. Near isn't a terribly forgiving person, generally. He's prone to pettiness, he can be spiteful, a primal defensive instinct warns him to stay away. That Mello leaving would be better.
[However. He seals the door.] I don't recall saying you were required to leave.
