He felt the soft hand on his shoulder and the gentle rubbing. It felt soothing in a way he hadn't experienced in a long time. He shook his head as the other tried to assure him he was strong, the other was wrong about that. "I'm only here because you dragged me along." He stated flatly, but it was the truth… had the man not come to take him, had given him a meal and had let him pretend to be just a little normal for a bit then he would have already found some way to end it. He knew that.<br/><br/>Overwhelming was an understatement, but there was no better word for it all either. "But I don't…" He began to mutter but softly shook his head, silencing those words and instead focusing on others. "Why do you want to help me? You live out here for a reason, right? So you can be alone… so why bring me here? Why try to help me? You don't know me…" He really didn't understand how someone could be selfless… no, everyone wanted something.<br/><br/>He eventually released the other's shirt and simply hugged his legs once more. He was running in circles again and again, a few highs mixed with anger and self pity filled lows. But right now he just felt tired, but thinking about returning to sleep had him shuddering… it would be an achingly long night.
