[ 'I was', James thinks, but he isn't angry enough to say it anymore.
Being with Keith had been eating at his insides. It made him lose focus and dulled his wits in Garrison training. Keith had been a full time job, even on the days when he would push James away and only run away. He'd consumed James' thoughts, even worse than when they were simply rivals. And once Keith was gone, he'd been able to return more to his old focused self. Superiors and classmates had remarked on it.
Doubtlessly, James had always been better off without Keith. Ever since he transferred into his middle school class, Keith had only caused trouble for James. And yet, looking at him now, he still feels longing. How stupid... How utterly unseemly of him. ]
So... you wouldn't have come back for me either way, huh?
