[He knows it's a throw-away comment, nothing serious - and yet... he likes to think he managed just that. Not here, and not with this Noiz, but even so...]
I wonder...
[Could he do it again? He really can't risk even trying, but somehow the situation seems less hopeless than before. He did manage it once, after all, and he wouldn't have thought even that was possible. So... maybe there is still hope for Noiz.
Aoba is still not going to think about what he could possibly do to help now, though. This has been enough of an Experience already. He'll just let everything he's learned simmer in the back of his brain, and see what comes out of it.
He's surprised to find he can still feel any hope at all, and the fact that he does, sparks a strange sense of joy in him. Taking a deep breath, he reaches out to try patting Noiz' head.]
Be a good boy, now~!
[He's being ridiculous, and he knows it. But being able to act like a total idiot once in a while is a luxury that he desperately needs right now.]
