[... Maybe it would be better if he told her to just get it all out instead of pushing it down. It would certainly be better if he could manage to offer her a hug or something - if Last Order was here that's what she would do - but the very thought makes him want to crawl out of his skin. Still, he's seeing 37 bite down on her lip way, way too hard, and can only think that bottling everything up is only going to lead to an explosion later on.
(Nevermind the fact that he's a complete hypocrite thinking that.)

.... I don't know if any of this is bullshit. It's possible we're being lied to by Echo.
[He isn't going to sugarcoat that. While he likes Aurora, he still hasn't seen proof that they're saving their universes by completing these missions. It's all very vague, and like many people here he's skeptical.
Another thought comes to him, and he pauses his answer. Grabbing his crutch, he gets to his feet, walking over to the bathroom briefly to retrieve a box of tissues and a damp washcloth for her. Sitting back down, he holds out both of them for her to take. He might not be good at comforting someone, but he can at least do that before continuing his answer to her.]
But I'm responsible for 1.8 million kids back home. I'm not going to endanger them on a hunch, so I've been taking part in these damn missions.
[Those circumstances are unique to him, he doubts there are many people who are considering the wellbeing of the people in their universe so strongly. He's seen a lot of complaints on Aurora's network that suggests that's the case.
Of course, that's only his decision. He isn't the one having a crisis over what to do, and he looks over at 37 calmly.]
