No... I tend to think it's better if I can return to normalcy as quickly as possible.
[...It's still kind of breathless and weird-sounding, but at least he seems to be controlling himself a bit more thoroughly now.]
I understand that these things may take time, but continuing to dwell on it isn't going to be productive... It won't get me anywhere, in the end, so I see little sense in it.

I know you don't like the idea of taking everything from a practical standpoint, but it's easier for me that way.
Well, it's true that I have a hard time looking at everything the same way you do, but I do understand that. Do whatever it is you need to do in order to pick up and move forward.
[It's as encouraging as he can be given the circumstances. He still has a lot of gaping holes in his memories but at least he's (probably) not a bioterrorist. There's only so much he can really say to try to help; this is something Wesker will know how to handle better than he would, if only because Wesker's already dealt with so many terrible memories.]
Either way. I really do imagine it won't get much better from here - not that I can particularly see how it can get much worse, either, granted.
[i mean it's not like there's all that much lower one can go from "actual bioterrorist trying to kill six billion people, also infected with some nasty tentacle shit." probably.]
I do appreciate that you've stayed near me through all of this. And I...
[...Mnngh.]
It isn't that I don't want what you've been asking me about, because that isn't the case. I just need time to consider it.
[I mean, if you think Wesker has been taking any time off to deal with this shit, you are completely mistaken - he's kind of married to his job, and that isn't changing regardless of what he remembers.]
If you need to leave, I won't force you to stay. But for the time being I'd prefer that you be here with me.

...I understand what you meant.
[So at least there's that much. It's not precisely an answer, but he does get it.]
I'll... Well, I'm sure I'll manage.
no subject
You always do. But as I've said before, it's okay if you need to take some time before you're okay again.

[And only some of that was spent procrastinating on talking to Wesker about it!!]
I'll always be here, for as long as I can be. I don't think things will be getting any better either, but I don't want to leave your side.
no subject
[He does seem to be settling a good amount, discussing this; it's...easier, anyway.]
I don't want that, either - I would prefer it if you stayed, for as long as possible.
[And that's...awkward, and it's obvious that he isn't sure how to word this at all, but he's putting forth an effort, at least.]
no subject
[He's confident about that. He's sure Wesker won't intentionally hurt him.]
no subject
[Though he imagines that goes without saying, really.]
...Thank you. For having so much faith.
no subject
One of us has to! I'm just glad I can be here for you.

It shouldn't take me terribly long to deliberate; I won't keep you waiting longer than necessary.

Oh, please! I wouldn't leave you like this, Albert. Besides, I like it here!
[He's a lot less lonely now that he's living with you. It's nice! He sort of doesn't want it to end, actually.]
