He should take heart in that. It's touching. But he's still - he's scared! Scared that it won't matter what he wants or what he tries to do; scared for everyone else, Ingo and Emmet and Akira and everyone else around him who he might be able to beg but can't compel to stay grounded, to not lose themselves, to not leave. It could happen at any time.]
Alright, [he barely voices, mostly just mouths. His vines tighten for a few seconds, then go loose again.]
