... Yer absolutely right. [He stroked Ai's temple with a brief sweep of his thumb. For some reason it hurt to hear that Ai had died. Maybe it was the fact he was so young and full of energy, and the thought of someone hurting him... Well, he wasn't sure he should ask.] I'm glad t' hear that didn't change yer mind, though. Yer a pretty strong kid when it comes down to it. Most people 'd be too scared.
I wish I coulda' been there. [And before Ai could start feeling guilty for being part of the reason Reno was unable to attend, he added:] But you got my help. Yer secret's safe with me.
