"I want to go home, too." It's part of what's kept him going as things got worse and worse, that at the end the Ringmaster would have saved Yuzu and Reira and they'd all go home and this nightmare ever since his dimension was invaded--before even the carnival--would end.
His fingers curl into the back of Strange's shirt as he takes a deep breath. "But I do care about the Ringmaster. And I care about you. All of my friends here... I want to make sure everyone can be safe and happy and go to the world they want to live in."
He thoughts of leaving, even in the middle of his contract to come back later, were fleeting in the face of everyone in the carnival he loves. But he understands it, wishing for it.
He can't really wipe his own tears like this, but he tilts his head slightly so he isn't soaking Strange's shirt.
"Maybe we both have to accept that... that we can't be the strongest. We can't compete with the fae. But we're not alone, we have people who help us like we want to help them. And that's getting us through this, isn't it?"
