[Now he does push away from the wall and stand back up, looking down at him.]
It's not all your fault, so don't go taking all of the blame for this, got it? Let me be mad at myself for once.
[With a sigh, he too sits down on the bed, likewise leaning back against the headboard and folding his hands behind his head.]
Of course I'm worried about you. Kinda goes without saying in something like this. But...
[Phil has him, at the very least. People like Suga and Nageki? Who do they have to look out for them? There's no way that anyone here who might be inclined to attempt murder would see them as anything other than easy targets, and he's painfully aware of this fact.]
[ Phil turns to look at him, expecting the end to that sentence to come... but, well, actually he can probably fill in that blank himself. ]
...Ah. But you have even less say in what happens to everyone else here, right?
[ It's not even just a matter of whether anyone will look out for them but of how much they want to be looked out for. That meeting had made it pretty clear that not everyone was interested in simply following the safest plan of action. (Though admittedly, he couldn't actually guarantee that he'd even follow it himself.) ]
... yeah. So I guess in the end we're upset about pretty much the same thing.
[Intentionally or not, their actions - or lack of actions - have ended up putting others in danger.
He knows, on some basic level, why he really exists-- why mirrites exist. They're living weapons, made to be summoned over and over again to fight as long as is needed. Were they back at home, protecting everyone wouldn't be an issue in the slightest; here, however, where he can't simply be summoned back again if anything were to happen to him...
Well, now he understands just how Phil can feel so useless at times. And boy, he doesn't like it one bit.]
