he wants to go see her, but that's simply not an option. not yet, anyway. he doesn't particularly want to be alone, but he also doesn't want to force her to deal with the future that he created. it isn't allura's problem, really. and he also doesn't want to have to cope with allura struggling to pretend to be kind when she may not want to do that at all.

[ he won't.
he's also just going to delicately skip over the first part of what she said because dealing with that is too much on top of everything else he's currently sorting through. ]
