[ Boa's learned a lot in his weeks in the camp and one of these things is how to properly hug someone back. He holds Richie tightly, giving all the security he can give in the situation. He can't make Kanji's death undone or get them out of here, but he can at least project a faint feeling of safety and confidence, or so he hopes. ]
... we should have met elsewhere. Somewhere better.
[ But they wouldn't have, because their worlds are different and their times are different. This is the only way they could have met. The Boa from before camp could have never had imagined feeling connected to someone so different from himself. Even if time-space had given them a chance to make friends, would he have taken it? He can't say.
So it's weird, knowing that this hell gave him something that is confusing and new and that he wants to keep. Every Friday when he feels relief to see his friends' faces gives the feeling a bit more room. ]
