[ he is more than willing to let her go peacefully once he is sure she is well enough to be on her own even if he's very careful about letting any of that be known beyond the two of them between their own connection. He certainly can't blame her for running off, either: he would have done the same thing in her position.
When she reaches out to him, though, he will answer. He's drained emotionally as much as physically, but that's partly because of the way this place behaves and how the voids are. With him being a Lightweaver, he's apparently even more troubled with them than the already unacceptable norm they're all suffering. Still, he doesn't complain. ]

... I don't like his behavior about death, and he assured me at one point he wouldn't let Sleep win just to die. I won't let him so easily go back on his word about it.
[ of course, that's not the whole story he's willing to offer, and he doesn't try and hide that in their tether. He also doesn't care to overwhelm her with information, though, so unless she asks for more specifics he won't trouble her with the rest. Between their link, though, she will feel that she's welcome to ask further, and that he's not intentionally hiding anything so much as trying to give the simplest and most straightforward answer he can in the fewest words. Dazai is exhausting, at best, even when merely the topic of a conversation, afterall. ]
He's very hard to trust left to his own devices, though, once Sleep gets into his head and plays tricks on him.
