[Ginji's calm manner doesn't even waver; the answer is unsurprising coming from Asch. However, he can't help but notice there still hasn't been a flat-out, direct N-O, no. If there had been, he'd just have to honor the fact that Asch wants to be alone. Since there hasn't, he can at least keep talking. Besides, what's the difference between this visit and any other?]

Well, that's a relief since I don't believe in making pity visits, Mr. Asch. I go to see my friends because I want to.

Like now.

[Or when they ask him to bring food.]
