Well, back home... he died trying to save someone from a fire. The Atroma pull people from different times as well as different worlds, so... They brought him here from before that happened. I realized right after I got here that it was possible for Tadashi to show up here, too, and I wanted it to happen so bad...
... and when it did, it was really hard to wrap my heart around. It's still hard sometimes. If either of us leaves here, we'll be separated for good again. Our parents died when I was three, and Tadashi helped raise me. It's really hard knowing we're on a short time limit... but I think I'd still want it to happen, even if I had thought that far ahead before he showed up.
[he takes a deep breath, exhaling the bubbling tangle of emotions that starts at his throat when he talks about this.]
So, I guess, what I'm saying... is that you're not really alone feeling that way. If he weren't here, I bet you anything I'd have been seeing him in the hallway. Instead, all I was seeing was fire. [and microbots pouring out of the walls but]
