[Guess who's actually doing a network post on his own free will, for once? That's right. This kid. But ever since he'd come back from his kidnapping, he'd been feeling a little bit...off. It wasn't something he could really place, though. Not yet.
He needed a distraction. One that isn't trying to pick a physical fight with people because that never seemed to end well here. If he's already not feeling on the top of his game it's going to end even worse than usual.]
What's the point of friendships?
[There's a bit of a pause, before he tacks on:]
Don't give me that warm and fuzzy stuff, either. I don't want to hear it.
[Well, that was short and sweet enough. He's just. Going to end it here.]

[It's kind of a depressing thought to most people, but he doesn't really think of it like that.]

Think of it this way: in the wild, many... creatures won't last for long alone. Everyone relies on someone else. For food, protection, shelter. Even the ones who live alone, they have to feed, right?
We're all connected. For humans, it's easier to face trouble together, instead of alone. Because you're going to need help someday, so who better than someone you trust, who knows you'd do the same for them?
Because when you're weak and scared, there's nothing worse than being alone. And you can't always be strong enough to face everything on your own.

Besides, everything's funner with friends, even boring things!
[Voice]
Ok now we're not going down that road.]
I've worked together with people before, but they weren't my friends. Just people to get the job done.
Fun isn't really something I have time for, anyway.
[Unless he's mocking Ion......]

Even work gets easier when you have friends who'll make it fun. It doesn't have to be a big distraction!
[Voice]
You feel safe and happy when you're around them, because you trust each other and enjoy things together. Something like that!

Ordinary things change when you're with friends. You appreciate them more. Just because you're enjoying them together.

Everybody needs someone to rely on sometimes.
