[Especially if it has a happy ending. That's really all that mattered here, wasn't it? Ken's smiling the way a boy like him SHOULD smile. He's got friends, he's got people looking out for him. Ken was the weirdest kid he knew...and that's saying something in this place. But he's normal now.]
Hate to break it to you, Ken, but Aragaki-senpai always kind of...did think different than the rest of us. [But he smiles fondly, playing with the paperclips in the little bowl on his desk.] You know if there's anything you need...if you ever feel like you need to talk about something.
[Because guess who missed out on that whole year.]

You're damn right we are, Ken. I've got your back, and you've got mine. But you've got some good friends now too, yeah? Don't feel like you always have to be the one supporting them. They're there for you too.
The only thing that changed about them was that Aragaki-san had unfair privileges of sitting shotgun all the way to California when Sanada-san was driving.
[Not that Ken's complaining, because he got to sit between Minato and Tadashi or Jaime and that was great.]
If there's anything I learned here, it's that I'm not alone. I'm grateful to everything and everyone I have here.

[says the kid who idolized said Sanada-san. But Ken is laughing anyway as he swings his feet.]
Thanks, Junpei-san. And if there's anything I can do for you, well -- we're still teammates, right?
