[He does look like shit, he can't argue that. What else can he say, though? It's an unbelievable weight off his chest to hear all of that, and she's right to hold back because he already feels overwhelmed. Everyone he loves is alive. He didn't get Meyrin killed. The war is over. The PLANTs are in good hands with Lacus, and Cagalli is back in Orb. It's... everything he wanted, really. And he gets to see it happen, despite the wrong turns he's made along the way.
With a heavy breath, he ducks his head and presses his hands against it for a long moment, just taking all of that in. He runs his fingers through his hair, eyes clenching. It's okay. It's okay. God, it's so much. He only hopes he wasn't another burden on them all- that he was able to help them in the end, like he should have from the beginning.
First things first-]
