That's something, isn't it? But no. If that was it, I'd probably still be traveling with John and Sherlock. It's more the fact that there are people here who don't seem to want anything from me. They don't have a use for me, but I still seem to show up on their radar. Never had that at home.
[ Of course, being alone in Norfinbury is awful and should be avoided at all costs. But that doesn't explain why Al would consider him a friend. ]
I mean, I don't have my ability to detect lies anymore, so I don't know for sure. But if Al's playing the long game, it's not a method I've seen before.
Oh, for -- you don't have to have a use for someone to care whether they live or die. At least, decent people don't. I'm not going to lie and say I trust you much farther than I could throw you, but that doesn't mean anyone's conning you if they say they want you around.
[ A laugh bubbles up from Sylar, deeply bitter and probably cementing his position as a serial killer considering how sinister it comes out. But whatever. ]
Hey, I'm just telling you what I've come across so far. Maybe there's no decent people in my world. I mean, I've fallen for it five times in as many years, the whole 'oh, I care about you and oh wait I just wanted you for this one thing, now go away' Thing. Makes a guy a little paranoid, you know?

[Sure, he knows what Sylar believes to be the cause of his behavior, but there's always more to it than one can see in oneself.]

[ He's not going to deny it. ]
Maybe there's just not a lot of decent people in my world.

[ Although...thinking about it more... ]
A side effect, maybe. My power's really useful. Tends to lead to getting used.

[His tone is joking.]

Makes more sense than I'd like, really.
Okay, I'm going to get going, I think. Let me know what the Admin tells you. And good luck.

Stay safe, will you?
