As I said, a friend is a friend. New or old are terms you can apply to things, not to living beings, specially when they are your friends. And it's even worse to treat them based on that, I don't think that's a very good way to be a friend.

[But he knows many people act that way, but it's just another bad detail in a long list of bad habits.]

I already think that this place isn't that bad. I don't like the idea of being experimented on or having robots kidnap me, but that and not being able to go back home are like the only problems here. [They aren't, at least not for him.] There are worse things back home and I still like it there so I don't have any reason to not like it here as well! Besides, everything will work out at the end, so there's no need to worry either.
