[He doesn't want to be alone anymore. Not to just wallow in his thoughts. To think about how this place is, what it thinks of him, and what he has to lose. Mostly of all he doesn't want to think about that loss that they all face, that had led them to this.]
We will be. We're going to be okay. I trust you in that, Nate. I know we will.
[ Right now, the reality of their failure is a fact in Nate's mind. The emotional side of it can't hit him yet. It will.
They know for certain now that they can't do anything about what they love being taken from them. The people they lose will be gone for good. That includes each other.
It means that all they have, all they are, has to be here in this moment. ]
we have each other. if that's all we can count on then that's enough
i think you're a better boyfriend to me than i am to you quite frankly. i promise you, i won't let you be alone either. i'll get you out of your head. whatever comes next, we'll face it together.
oh! i did meet him. he came to see me too. wanted to help me get through it all. you're right. he is.
i was having visions of your arm being ripped off and...
[ And he's suddenly remembering something else. ]
nate, i want to ask you a question but i understand if you don't want to answer this. do you remember me talking to you about my crush? on that guy that saved me from the gangs?

[He's glad they're texting where Nate can't see him cry, can't hear the soft sobs as he clutches at the device desperately.]
