Yes. And I do feel that there are a lot of good people here. [he laughs a little, fond, but will let him take the hand.]
I think...my choice, my control in this, comes down to whether I try to prevent all of you from doing what you choose to do. I don't...feel I have control beyond that. That's frightening, and a relief.
[a big huff of breath, and then he coughs some purple petals again.]
It's complicated for me. I have things I might want, but I don't feel that I have the right to make the decision for others. If it turns out Bass, Riff, and Steel want to keep this place stable and safe then I'm...going to pick that over what you all want to do.
But I don't feel particularly confident in that course of action.

Makes sense. [ he doesn't seem offended by it. ] Really leaning into that support role, huh?
[ that's a little teasing, at least. ] Have you talked to the three of them about it?
