"I guess we have that in common too, huh? That sucks. Sorry you had to go through...I'm not sure what you went through but I doubt you wanna talk about it to anyone, like how I don't want to tell you, still."
Since Gold wasn't looking in his direction, he chose to turn away again. This time to just stare out into the horizon.
"Ultern really reminds me of Alola." An offhand comment, but he couldn't really stop himself from blurting it out. "I wonder if that's how people from Hoenn also feel? Not that I've been there before. Sorry, that's not really related to what we're talking about."
He stopped as he considered what Gold had told him, as he mulled over what to say next.
"You're not the only liar around here. When we first met, what I kept thinking about was wanting to leave right away. I only meant to give Professor Beni a present and head back to the island over, but then I met you. I was surprised, but I wanted to try my best to get along. I like it when the people around me are able to be happy, so I thought getting along with the right thing." He shrugged. "But I realize that was kinda pointless, huh? If we didn't talk like this, would you have just continued to not like me? You don't have to answer, it's okay if you do. No one has to like me. It's scary when someone pays too much attention to me."
There, he placed his hand over his mouth again. He didn't want to look at Gold after that.
"No, shut up, Sun. You know that's not fair. Stop saying things you'll regret later." He slapped his own cheeks with both hands. "Okay! Oh, sorry, I'm raising my voice too--but If I leave, or if you leave things aren't gonna change at all. That much I can figure out even if this isn't exactly fun."
"--I can't change how you feel about Professor Beni just like how you can't change how I feel about...about not having a home anywhere, in any world." He inhaled sharply. "C'mon, Gold. We should go--ah not separately, but together. I think...you know, you misunderstood me, and Professor Beni a lot. We don't have to go see him, but I think if you spoke to him more you'd understand him a lot more! That's how it goes with anyone, and with Pokemon too."
