Hey, I'm only twenty. It's not like late teens was too long ago. [Last year, even. But he gets what Mikleo is saying.] I can't imagine running out on my mom, though. I mean-- not for long.

[It hasn't occurred to him that maybe he doesn't have a mom.]

Huh... I hope we were able to help her, then. [He's not sure how he feels about both of them apparently skipping town to become heroes. Sorey doesn't really think he's capable of that sort of thing. He's a history teacher, not a video game protagonist.]
