[ Which brings him to the idea that he misses certain people terribly, but. He can't linger on that for too long... ]
I have one person I know from my world, so... ah, he's a really amazing person. Do you have someone like that for yourself?

There's no need to do anything for me for now. I'm just happy I could help.
