[He's worrying Sonic, isn't he? That familiar hum of machinery means that he's overworking himself and Neo desperately wishes he knew how to make that stop. Unfortunately, he's never had any luck actually getting himself to settle in any meaningful way; Sonic's always the one who's had that skill, not him. He leans into Sonic's touch and moves to rest a hand against his boyfriend's cheek, to get Sonic to keep his eyes on him.]

I would like that. It would be a suitable alternative for keeping information.

[But that's almost an aside, because for as terrified as he is of being stuck like this...]

Thank you for worrying about me, and for trying to help. I know this isn't easy for you either. What can I do to help you?

[It's easier to focus on Sonic's problems and trying to help him than it is to focus on his own, after all.]
