I am not as naive as you think I am, Réalta Geal. [Diarmuid repeats the nickname softly, but firmly, in an attempt to pull Laurent out of the lonely space he's huddled in for far too long.]
I know friendship means added weakness, but it also means added strength. More often than not, I have seen that strength prevail. It won't happen all the time, the world has harshly taught me that, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give up on it happening all together.
[His eyes flick to the ground and suddenly sadden.]
Contrary to what you may think, I know very well what it is like to be alone in a crowd. Despite that, or perhaps because of it, I refuse to allow myself to give up on the ideas of friendship and teamwork. No one deserves to be alone no matter what they have done.
