[He should probably think it through before he answers her, but. He feels frayed and worn right now, so he doesn't.]
It's not that I think you should walk up to them and say it was you. [He loves Team A to pieces, but he isn't stupid. He can't say that they wouldn't take revenge, and that wouldn't get them anywhere.] But they deserve better than the way things ended up.
[They deserve to know that at the very least, someone out there is trying. That they weren't left behind out of senseless desperation, even if, in a way that's kind of what this is. If someone had taken Nahida or Shu from him, he thinks he would want even the phantom of a hand on his shoulder, even the ghost of a voice saying It will be okay. Maybe it would make it worse, because nothing can make it better, really--but Kaveh can only express his opinions as they are.
But these are such personal issues for him, and he knows his views are colored by that bias. And even on a normal week, he wouldn't necessarily want to bring it up. This week, especially, his shoulders rise even to skirt around it, and he looks away, awkward and insecure.]
Um, but I can't speak for Shenhe's team. Or for you all. It's just what I think.
