[A helpless little smile twitches upward when she responds like that. Yeah... that's Ange, thinking about her friends in the end. Maybe it's better if he goes along with that? He gets how important it is to feel needed by others. It sucks feeling like you're a burden to everyone around you. For a long time, he felt that way, and that only changed when he came here. Besides, he truly wants her to be his friend still, for as long as they're both in Aldrip.

So, he nods, still keeping eye contact with her as he gently holds on.]

...I'll be selfish and ask that of you. To continue being my friend. Just remember that you can be selfish and ask the same thing of me too, okay? Because I'm taking advantage of it on my end.

[Scott pauses for a moment, obviously rethinking about what he just said. While he doesn't want to put too much thought about leaving this place, he knows one thing to be true.]

Well, you might not have a choice there, because I'll make sure you're okay too.
