He swallowed hard, dropping his gaze once more and looking at their hands. "As for that part, about getting sent back..." He paused for a moment. "While most of the time I don't want to get sent back, part of me is worried about other you. And how you're doing. And how things with Zod and his people are going. I can't help but wonder if being here is really doing anything for anyone."
