Whew. It's a really good thing that he already patched things up with Tidus, or those words would be hitting a lot harder than they are right now. Not that they still aren't impactful - but it just gives him much more of a chance to think of the here and now, about Nita next to him, rather than his mistakes of the past.

He feels the squeeze at their joined hands, and it makes him stare back at them, thinking for a moment. Inigo always balances on the edge of being honest and lying - or, well, omitting the truth, more like. Covering up his pain. It's hard to strike a good balance between the two with good things, but he's trying.

"I'm.. not sure what I want." That's a very honest admission. What would help at this point? While he's worried about Gerome's name still being gold, about the whole situation with Reno, about his lack of strength, about so much more-- What should he even tackle first? What can even be done about it?

Or maybe it's time to go back to the basis. His constant primal desire.

"I think I just.. don't want to be alone."

Even though he was the one who had pulled back during the mission, pulled himself away from everything. Inigo knew though that he wouldn't feel better by himself - but there was just the strong fear that he'd only make things worse by actively sticking around others back then.
