It hadn't felt like an overreaction at the time, he thinks. He'd really thought, if he did nothing, Faust would turn him away forever. He's still not sure he wouldn't have. They weren't as close then as they are now.
But, maybe someone who wasn't him wouldn't have felt that way. Maybe something in his memories really did get in the way without his realizing it.
He nods his head slow. He tries to take that information in, to really stamp it into his heart and mind. Faust isn't just going to disappear because he fucked up. No matter the what-ifs that come to mind, Faust isn't going to do that. It's a hard pill to swallow.
His nodding pauses and stops with Faust's hopes. He understands the sentiment is good. But...
"You know... if there was... a choice... a way... I'd want to... see you more too... I'd want... more than just... some memory..." Memories are precious, but, that is all they are. And there will be no more memories to make someday. "But thank you... I hope the same... for you..."
