Another pause as he thinks of an appropriate response. Words are a little difficult for him; he has to think about them in advance.
Some of the words that come out are things he's thought about in depth already.
"People are strange," he admits, shifting to prop an elbow on his knee, leaning so he can rest his head on his hand. "Even if we know we should do one thing, what we want can often be something that's completely different.
I'm not sure what you mean, by 'I'm not supposed to'." He doesn't want to make an assumption (and truth be told he's starting to feel like this situation is eerily familiar to him). "But I think...even if you're not certain, other people will come to you anyway. That's always the part of connection you can't control...there are people who will want to be with you."

A pause, and then:
