What do you want me to do? Setsuna is one of my best friends, but I don't know how to tell you more than that! And he's-- stronger than you're giving him credit for. I've seen the shit he's been through or he's been willing to do. He might need support, but he's not hopeless.

[He pushes a hand through his hair, tries to will down the frustration.]

None of this is your fault. I'm just... safer on my own. Safer for other people.
