You are not a failure! Who needs a family when this is what it is? I don't have one either. I don't have a last name either... so let's just be Sanji and Jae-Ha together, okay? We can go wherever you want! I can take us there, and you can keep cooking for me!
[He pulls back just enough to try and look at Sanji's face. He knows all of this attempting to make things light won't work, but... being serious won't help right now, either. He's just relieved he doesn't have to fight any more to get them out of here.] I'll protect you no matter what, and I need you to take care of me. I can't do this alone.
