I won't leave my friends, either. I'm not going anywhere. [He's very stubborn on the matter.]
... Why?
It'll be a lot safer, probably.
You won't have to deal with any of this.
You hardly-- you haven't even been here that long--
[Please don't leave please don't leave please he doesn't want to let go of the feeling that you might care about him.]

Isn't it weird that I got sent here for a year and it was right before things fell apart? Pretty much as soon as I got here I met Phillip, who was in my last life. And then I met you. You got numbers almost right after I got here, right? I got here beginning of January.
Don't you think it's weird that we're drawn here? I'm not saying it's fate or destiny or a higher power, but I am saying I got here right on time to lend a hand. I have friends here now. I have enough people here--and I want to find things out. I had an echo when the snake attacked. I need to know why.
[He might as well give Ken the full list of motivations.
He's here. He has to keep fighting. So long as he can help people, he's going to fight.]

[He sits back up. The nurse isn't here yet. He sits back up and he's wearing ugly hospital scrubs and he misses his usual stupid orange jacket because it was too large and made him feel a little safe.]
... I don't want you to get hurt or die.

I'm not going to die. I have colleges to apply for.
So am I. Dead serious. I won't die and I won't leave you behind to fight alone.
You almost died, Matt! You were bleeding-- I saw it. You were bleeding really badly, and that was because I was there...
And if you'd used your persona without me nearby you would've been killed by the snakes. I would've been hurt one way or another, but you healed me. That's how teams work. Together. Got it?
I'm here to stay, Ken.
I'm here to stay, Ken.
[He's sure Matthias will regret that decision. He's worried Matthias will come to dislike him, one day, because he'll get in the way. What if Matt takes another blow for him and is seriously hurt, next time?]
... I'm sorry.
... I'm sorry.
[He drops to sit next to Ken on the bed.] You're the only one like me, right? So we have to stick together.
I have your evoker, too. It's in the bag.

Are you? Even if you are, it looks like I'm the bad guy, too. You've helped me out, now I owe you. We'll have to be bad guys together.

[Why are you so nice to him???]
... If I'm stuck here for a few days more, will you still come visit?

You'll probably get out of here fast, but sure. It's lonely in a hospital room by yourself.
Well, school being closed means you don't need it this week.
... But can we watch more of Strength Rangers?
... Thanks.
[And he's still exhausted. With Matt next to him, he lets himself fall sideways, against his friend's arm, clinging to Matt's calling him a friend to let himself believe that they really are friends and by the time the nurse comes again he's half asleep where he's sitting.]

[He responds almost immediately, writing too in hopes it'll show up on whatever surface she's writing on.]
I'll be there in ten minutes.

[She glances at her hand during the conversation, under the table, and struggles to not look horrified when speaking with your father.][Too late. My boys don't listen to your girls but at least it isn't December anymore.]
Just let me in when you can. Ask [maid-san] if you can't get away.
