[It's a painful confession. One he hasn't made before. He stares at the ceiling, trying to gather his thoughts enough to speak.]
I don't want to lose you, but... if you really don't think you can handle that eternity... it's fine. I won't try to force you.
It's painful and boring, and during the times when you're not in contact with your body, it's like you're melting into nothingness. I can understand why someone wouldn't want that.
[He sits up slowly, one hand lifting to rub at his neck. That dull ache isn't going away. It seems to be getting worse with every word he speaks. Bringing his hand to his face, he tried to focus on finding words.]
If you hate me, I'll leave. I like you enough to do that. But... even if you won't be with me for long, I'd like to be with you while I can.
[If he leaves... it'll just be early. Yes... he was foolish to try to hold onto these feelings. Of course someone who could still be called 'human' would never be able to handle this.
His head hurts. What is this dizzying sense of blackness in the back of his mind? It's like something's raging at him right now, something he can't remember or even conceptualize inside of his head.]
In the end, the decision's up to you.
[...though he's not letting Malik go as easily as all that, whatever Malik says.]
