(On his back, where he can't see, are tattooed five names. Two of the men share a family name, and none of the names are familiar. They aren't relatives of anyone that anybody knows, either... just a couple ordinary guys.) ]
Hey. Is anyone else havin' their clothes not stay on?
[ Oh, that didn't sound too good, did it? If any perverts try to answer that, he's seriously gonna bust some heads. ]

What's wrong with it! Gonou likes it. He sleeps in the library most of th'time anyway, an' you can't even eat in there.
[And somehow it does not surprise him that Gonou would sleep in a library. Hakkai didn't mean to offend little Gojyo, though.]
It's just that... I think you deserve something better. No one should have to live that way.
[ Actually, no. He's not going to finish that sentence. He's going to finish his cigarette in silence and try to ignore his suddenly very itchy scars. ]
Gojyo, do you know why your name is right here?
[He puts his hand over his heart.]
Dunno.
And after you save my life, we become friends. And I'm going to move in with you, and I'll cook and clean for you for awhile, and then...
I'm going to fall in love with you.
Nobody loved him. Mama sure didn't, and Jien used to, but he hadn't said it in years, and anyway he was gone now. He knew Hakkai was going to be his friend, but this! ]
Really?
[You are over his heart after all, right next to his sister, and you know how he feels about her.]
So it makes me very upset to hear about you sleeping in restaurants and things like that, because I think it was better when we shared a home together.

[ Oh wow. And just imagine... if Hakkai loves him this much now, then how much will he love Gojyo when Gojyo saves Kanan from getting hurt and killed! ]
But it's okay! Because I won't live in th'restaurant forever, right? So don't worry about it!
[Though it's not going to be easy. But he supposes it's not that bad. He can't very well ask you to move after all, and at least you have a friend with you.]
