Dan can't quite get past thinking that Bunny would be no happier in Dan's position, were the roles reversed - but to Dan, feeling a sense of dependence on others is inherently more threatening than it feels to others. He figures Bunny would hate feeling as vulnerable and helpless as Dan feels right now; he also doesn't think Bunny would feel that keen sense of danger Dan feels.
"I'm not supposed to be alive right now, you know. I wasn't supposed to make it this long." He was supposed to be dead by twenty-four at the latest. Usually he feels like he did die before then, and is just some sort of ghost play-acting at living, but he doesn't know how to articulate that in a way that won't stress Bunny out. "I didn't never plan ahead for this."
He settles into being held, absently stroking Bunny's chest. "How did you adjust to it, the idea of living forever?"
