[ They're probably fine like this. Adam doesn't want to move back because he has a feeling Luke might need more of this or maybe he will and so it's just more logical to stay this way. Always with the logic.
He wonders if maybe there can only be one or two survivors. He's always thought it was unlikely that he would be able to survive with these sorts of people around, but now he's certain he and Luke will do anything to make it out. When Luke bumps his forehead, Adam finally looks into his eyes and manages a small smile back. ] You'll stay alive as long as I am. [ Certainty. But it's also more of a rationalization: if Luke dies, Adam is utterly unprotected, vulnerable physically, mentally, and emotionally. He doesn't imagine it for the other way around. He'd like it if Luke could get to Henrietta even if Adam can't, to tell the others about what happened. Maybe Luke will make him sound like a hero.
His smile falls as soon as Luke mentions telling him things. There's almost a heartbroken expression on his face because—he hadn't realized they were keeping things from each other. He thought he was the one Luke could tell everything to, just like Luke is for him. If he'd gotten the memo, maybe he would have kept some things from him. (No, he just feels slighted.) ] ... What have you been keeping from me?
