Even through the fog of his fever, Sizhui realises something has spooked her and he frowns uncertainly. The question is... complicated...
".... I have learned that sometimes the truly righteous thing to do.... is not to follow the rules..."
It's a lesson he has taken to heart thanks to his parents, but he also... well, he isn't as good at not following the rules for the greater good as certain other people he might mention, mostly because he so far hasn't really had to, he's been able to find the appropriate loopholes to still follow the rules.
He feels the panic rising when it seems like she's trying to leave, though, there's some... feeling that he can't let her walk out the door. He doesn't understand where it's coming from, but he can't push it down.
"Please... don't.... Could you stay? Until I'm better?"
Maybe it's just how much fevers scare him, but he feels like it's something else, too.
