[He doesn't want to be alone. Not at all. But it's not about what he wants. It's about what he needs to do. And he needs to do right by himself and his mirror.]

I appreciate everything you've done for me, darling. Please understand that.

[He wants to reach out. He needs to feel something solid and living but he can't because it's silly and he can't depend on anyone other than himself.]

I should. Probably be alone for now.

[He turns away from them and towards his dark bedroom and tries to not shudder.]

...but I don't have to be alone for forever, all right? Please don't- Ah. ...never mind.

[Begging for someone to come and visit you sometime and not forget about you? Pathetic.]
