"You weren't going to be abandoned again, Verity." And Katsuya means that, no matter what he had been prepared to do. "I would have called you had I been stuck in Sumaru for some time. My phone still works. But...and I feel like I need to stress this. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't do all that I could to protect my world, and the Nexus. You."
