Tavros had it harder than him. The troll Gamzee will be finished by dusk, whether or not Tavros took it upon himself to end his suffering. Tavros had to live.

He keeps his eyes on Tavros, ignores the stabs of hunger in his stomach, feels his pain and fear, and wishes he could do something, anything for him.
But he's so tired.]
...You find those other hard motherfuckers to travel with. You'll be okay.
[Nepeta could take care of him. Karkat could take care of him. He won't be alone, no matter how much he thinks he will be.
