It's not that I'd discourage making connections and you've chosen a good set of people to trust, so perhaps it's not even meant to be an issue -
[ . . . . ]
But of those connections you make, if you end up casually speaking about your death, it could upset them. The people here are kind, and I don't think that you'll find trouble if you truly reach out your hand to those that have earned your trust and you'll find that they'll meet you halfway.
But no one would want to see anything happen to you.
[It's how he deals with this fact about himself, anyway, and he's not so sure he can change it. Maybe he can try to catch himself, but he barely notices... They just slip out.]
Still, I believe I understand what you're saying. I've been cautious with my words, or so I thought, but the truth is that I've still been foolishly hoping I could be just like any other high school boy, having fun and caring little about anything else.
But this is life or death, isn't it? I suppose for most people, that's a big deal. I'll try to remember it, since it's true that I don't want to die just yet.

So finding that balance is still important.
