It's enough. Hol Horse fires his gun when he feels the barrel of the gun pressed against his ribs. The bullet swerves around Togusa - he's not the target.
But the cowboy disappears into fog when the metal bullet jams inside him. He's gone, but the purple line heading towards Mohammed does not. He summons another flame to guard himself and ducks.
The bullet hits his scarf and barely misses his neck before it strikes the wall.
Togusa cries out when the shot swerves around him. "No!" Stupid. Idiot. You were never the point. He whirls around before he even confirms the kill to look at Mohammed. "Mohammed!"
It actually takes a second for Togusa's brain to kick in and tell that Mohammed is unharmed. He came very very close, but he is fine. Togusa breathes out the largest sigh of relief, and he slumps over to the side, leaning on the dumpster for support.
"You're all right." Telling Mohammed and himself. "It's okay."
