Czes looks down to hide how hard that last comment hits him. It would be pretty suspicious for a regular kid to care about a statement like that...hopefully this way he will just seem chastised for hitting a little nerve. Before he ended up here, he was very lucky to have a lot of other people in the same situation as him who he could get along with.

"Right," he says with cheer, like his little moment of weakness didn't happen, "but even if you never grow old you could still find somebody in the same situation, couldn't you? Then you would have someone to spend your time with no matter what."
