He shouldn't trust her. She left him all alone. They all did.
[Omori frowns a moment, thinking. It's not typical for him to be so expressive; right now, he looks young and hurt, just like a child. He takes in a breath through his nose.]
Tell them...that I never told them to leave Sunny alone. [That matters. He made that compromise.] Tell them to stop touching me. Tell them to stop hurting him.
[At some point, the message becomes more direct. Little fists ball up the fabric of his shorts.] I protect him. I'm the only one that has. I've been here longer than they think. If I'm there, it means he doesn't want to be.
I know what's best for him. They need to listen.
[Has Adam - has anyone - ever heard Omori talk this much? He looks worn out.]

Got it. I’ll tell them.
[He means it!]
Quick question - who are his friends, again?

[Omori trusts Adam...]
Tell Aubrey.

Since I don't fancy getting made into a shish-kabob, I'm gonna text her before anything else.
