( He smiles at Kel's words, albeit it's a bit weak. He doesn't know how he'd absolutely do anything for him, even if it's at the cost of himself. However, there's a part of him that wonders if he needs to try harder for the other's sake. He wants to seem as dependable as possible, just as he was for his friends in the past.

But... Sunny.... They're both avoidant in different ways. The fact that Sunny is so avoidant is why he's so desperate to see him again, and why it hurts so much that they aren't talking. Basil would do anything to show him that he didn't have to avoid him, that he could be a good friend to him. If he ever had the chance...

He has a feeling that Kel doesn't understand. That's alright. This is something that only he and Sunny could understand. Their bond was so unique and special in that way, just as Kel and Basil had their own bond. )

I'll... wait as long as I need to, just like before. ( But, it hurts so much. ) I'm happy that he has the support he needs otherwise...

What he said-- it... it was a lie, so it's not important. ( Once again, he's lying. Omori did indeed know exactly what to say to hurt him. ) I just know... Aubrey will be there for him.

Sunny loves you, Kel. I'm sure that the both of you will make up. -- No, I know you will. A-And, I'l be here with you every step of the way.
