[ He lifts his chin up as he pauses to look around. The emotions that have been flooding the grocery store -- he's certain more than a few people are dragged down by them. Yet Ai can still stand with him and so, he acknowledges that he is not alone. His head gives a small tilt to show that he acknowledges and thanks the gesture. ]
I don't know what to say to such kind assessment of my character. Still, you have, indeed, always been one to me just as you are now. [ That is why he's starting to believe if he allows himself to be alone that his morals and common sense will start to twist to rationalize a reckless gambit to avoid destruction. But such recklessness most likely will not have a good ending. ]
And feelings are difficult to grasp. Yet it is not as though we're without them, right? We recognize the need to comfort one another despite our odd nature. We recognize the desire to want to help even if it changes nothing inside of us. [ A smile. ] The sentiment then is pure. Pure of expectations and idealistic wants.
[ He shakes his head. ] You needn't hope for it. You're doing your best for me now while I'm stumbling over feelings and thoughts I cannot quite put into words.
