"Bask in..." Rich stammers at Johnny's words, at the implications, once again feeling his face heat up, but he tries to listen. He feels like he should try... as scary as it is.
It seems they're all a little scared. He inhales a bit sharply when César explains that none of them are connected to their families anymore. Of course, he shouldn't have assumed he was the only one, and he knows César mentioned his parents that first day they met...
It's still a lot to take in, but it makes him more understanding of why they care so much about this. They... don't want him to miss out. They don't want him to let go of family.
"...I know I really did feel alone when I got here. I think that might've been part of why I hid, for so long? I... you get used to just having people see surface level and you're afraid of anyone getting close enough to dig any deeper." He scoffs. "Or, you know, getting your old childhood cards delivered to them because you've been thinking too much about why three weird old guys have been looking after you for three weeks."
