[He's still a far cry from himself, even as upbeat as he's making himself be for Hiro. He can tell his brother's worried and being the mess he is won't help things. Better to act like he's not and ... He isn't sure he can take the same role back that he had before, but he can try. His little brother isn't so little anymore and doesn't need big overprotective Tadashi hovering. Which in and of itself is a big relief: an entire role and mindset he doesn't have to try to fit back into, like a shirt he's outgrown. He can focus on just taking care of himself and being a brother.
