Coil has no idea why he's here--again--he doesn't know where Zhas is, he doesn't know how any of this is even possible or how much time has actually passed between any of these stupid windows of reality that he has been pulled through over the years. In this moment, all he knows for sure is that he had finally returned home after all of it, he had remembered everything that had happened, and hadn't expected any of those ghosts to ever come back.
Of course he'd been overjoyed and relieved to be back where he belonged after so much otherworldly confusion and torment. It'd been all he'd wanted for years. There's always a trade-off, though. He'd reclaimed his family, but he'd left behind someone else who he'd wished very hard that he'd been able to forget.
Carl's words might be clingy and lame, but hearing them causes Coil to pull in a bigger breath, stretching his ribs with it, and it sounds shuddery on the way back out. His fingers tighten against fabric for a moment. The sentiment is very much returned.
