[ Amos blinks, confusion in his eyes. He doesn't get why he shouldn't say it when it's the truth. Doesn't really get where the mourning is coming from, either. Everything's dead; you can't bring the dead back to life; all there is is to move forward or join everything else. And he's just kinda promised to move forward, so.
He's a little lost. He doesn't want to contradict Abel or make him feel bad or anything like that, but this is a disconnect he's just not gonna be able to bridge.
So, tentatively, Amos nods, even though he clearly doesn't understand. But he's upset Abel. Really, really doesn't like that. So he owes him this much. ]
I'll follow your lead.
[ That's as much as he can reasonably commit to. Hope isn't exactly in his vocabulary, isn't exactly something he can fake all that well. But he never says shit for the sake of it; Amos means it when he says that. He's made a life out of following other people's leads — it's just time for the next version of that, apparently. ]
Don't got anyone else here. So, yeah. I'll follow your lead 'til I can't anymore.
[ There's a limit to how much he can promise. Maybe they'll get separated for whatever reason. Maybe it really is all hopeless and there isn't a whole lot of forward to go from here. But until he's cut off, he can do this much, so he will. ]
