[The cuddling is nice, and his hand still idly moves over the fabric. It's both calming and soothing, a balm for his most recent trauma.
If he could live any way he wanted, and do anything he wanted... He hasn't allowed himself to indulge in such ludicrous fantasies for years.]
It is difficult to say. Back home, I had the adoration of many, but no close friends or family to speak of. Even having hundreds, maybe thousands of fans... was a pitiful substitute for any genuine relationship. But it was all I had.
[He feels self-conscious, all of a sudden, saying all this in public. Even if it seemed no one else was paying attention.]
I suppose that doesn't quite answer the question. For the moment, the answer is that I do not know. The days prior to our arriving here were rough for me, and I need some time to recover, first.
[A small smile, less weakened now.]
But... thank you, for your kind gestures and words of encouragement.
