[He's more than used to people not wanting to see him. And for his part, well, his feelings on his classmates are mixed. Those who survived, who made the decision that Hinata and Sonia had, well, it's easier to really firmly believe that they've chosen to be something more than despair.

His classmates who didn't make it long enough to face that choice, well. He's skeptical, but he's come far enough that he's not jumping to the worst conclusion. It's personal growth. Or something.
