Yuya rests his cheek on his hand, elbow on the table. "It's not that. I just don't want something to happen to any of them because I wasn't here. I have to make sure all of them make it home."

Mostly, he wants to make sure Gongenzaka makes it home. Surely they'll protect each other, but Gongenzaka will have the longest time alone after their contacts end. And while he trusts his best friend, he wants to personally make sure that Yuzu makes through this. He can't bear losing her again.

He's staring blankly ahead for a minute before he snaps suddenly out of his reverie. "Uh--but I'd still like something like that to talk to the friends I made here!"

Friends like Rita and Strange, that he probably won't see again when he leaves.
