Oswald isn't actually responding, but he hasn't pulled a knife and stabbed him either, so Ed's calling this a win for now.
This woman that Oswald killed, that he apparently loved, is nothing more than an abstract to him, a clear piece of a puzzle of Ed's disorders and trauma, a way of sublimating himself into another person's idea of who he should be.
This man, with his murderous temper, calculated viciousness and tremendous capacity for generosity when moved to it, is frightening and everything Ed was never meant to want, but he adores him anyway.
