[Sunny nods, his features softening a bit. That was exactly it. You could learn from it. You could grow from it.
And now Mob was at least promising to think about things. That was good.]
I think it's helping. It's also helped me a lot. [A pause.] And... you have, too, Mob. If I hadn't met you so soon after I got here, I'm not sure where I would have ended up. [Mob essentially gave him a home and support network. He gave him someone that he could confide in.
And for that Mob gets to enjoy a tiny but genuine smile from Sunny.]
[oh, a sunny smile. rare! even stranger given how terrible everything seems lately. he can't offer one back but his shoulders ease a little.]
I think you would have been okay. You're really tough. [said plainly, but still,] I... don't want to worry sensei. I guess I should consider that too. I don't think he agrees with- with Robby.

Maybe. But I'm glad I don't have to find out. [The smile does not stay for long, particularly at the mention of Robby.]
I'm sure he doesn't. I don't think there's anyone in the dojo that would agree with Robby about this.
