Shouldn't that be enough?
[He longs for friends, sure. It would be nice to have people around who don't mind him for who he is. But now they're getting upset over him, not because they hate him, but because they worry for him.
It's... strange. And he's not so sure it's a good thing anymore.
Maybe he really should have just stayed away. There's ways he can be useful like that, too. Quietly helping here and there until he couldn't anymore, until there was no longer a need for him.]
