When he had no one, it hadn't felt like it mattered if he had anyone around or not. If his singular friend told him to back off, he would. That was what he would have expected, that's why had hadn't gone after her already. That's just what he knew. Now that he actually had to count the friends that he had, didn't that mean that things were different? Didn't that mean they weren't the way he knew anymore?
"... You mean a lot to me, Chou, so I shouldn't have just... accepted that."
