[Well if a superhero can't take some time to listen to a confused victim, then what kind of superhero is he?
... Probably a very busy hero without a lot of time to spare, in all honesty.
But something about those words, even with the compassion. The finality of them confirming what he was trying to avoid telling himself strikes him deep. He can't help the shudder or that weird foreign noise that comes from his throat that sounds almost like a whimper.]
I know. I-i know.
[This guy probably doesn't want to deal with this. This hero has so many other things to be doing and here he is, listening to this poor bastard complain about hardships he can't fix and wasting his time. He didn't have to take Tadashi home. He didn't have to bring Tadashi out to see Callaghan, or stop to let him rest here on this turbine. He carefully ducks his head down and crosses his arms over the back of his head trying to breathe. Don't break down don't break down don't break down. Breaking down would be reserved for while Hiro's at class tomorrow and he has the attic-room to himself for the morning.]

It'd just-- I-it'd be easier if I could be.
