The leap made K instinctively hold on tighter, not wanting to slip and hit the ground at that speed.

Still feeling disoriented, it took him several more moments of sorting through his memory to comprehend what Equius was talking about. The butterflies, that inexorable feeling of despair — the pieces rapidly fell into place.

"I think they feed on positive emotions..." Hope tended to be a nebulous concept to K as well, though he may have been more familiar with it than the troll carrying him. Especially with how painful it could be when taken away. "Whatever it was doing to me, I couldn't look away."

A beat, and he realised, "You helped me?" He sounded astonished. The people in Trench certainly treated him better than anyone in his home universe ever had, but he wasn't used to being on the receiving end of that kind of selflessness.
