"Absolutely." It wasn't a real question, and it's pretty apparent, but Jingyi treats it like it is one. "I would be sad if you were dying, and even more so if you were dead. I'd probably yell at you when you came back if it was on train after hugging you."

After crying, more like it, but that wasn't worth mentioning, obvious enough in his opinion. Who wouldn't cry losing a friend? Maybe not in the moment, some battles and situations there wasn't time to process, to really feel, but after?

Noble sacrifice, or stupid mistake, both would feel unfair and unacceptable.
