['Yes! That's exactly what you should have done! I DID think you ditched me!']
I asked around when I couldn't find you, people let me know you'd left. [And they'd looked at him like he was some kind of obsessed fan. Or someone so far out of Cain, Prompto, and Hideki's league that it was hardly worth answering him. It felt too familiar, only this time he actually needed someone to answer him.] I'm not an idiot, I know this was important, it was an opportunity for you and Prompto, if you took time to make sure I was alright, his... goldfish brain would have flitted off to something else and you would have lost his focus. [That's right, he's being too sensitive here, he has to realize that this is going to help Cain uncover whatever the Maedas are doing. It could be huge, and he's sitting in bed whining about how Cain didn't pay enough attention to him. Maybe Angel hadn't been too far off about that air lock thing...]
[Abel sniffs and looks at Cain with wet, miserable eyes as he continues to beat himself up internally.] You... wouldn't care if I left? [It's a very delicate, fragile question. It's true that Cain looked like he was having fun despite his apparent extreme dislike for the party-- maybe he wouldn't have noticed at all.]
