Ianto helped Hakuba carry Jack to the autopsy bay in silence, before their job was done. At Hakuba's voicing of his name, Ianto hung his head. "You...don't have to stay if you don't want to. I don't want to keep you here, you could go home, get some rest... I could call you when he re--when he's ali--..." Ianto took in a deep shuddering breath. "When he's better," he said, finishing.

Truth be told, Ianto didn't want Hakuba to leave him here all alone. Ianto felt pretty emotionally vulnerable at the moment. If Hakuba left, he'd be the only living person left in the Hub, and even though he knew Jack would come back, Jack always came back, he couldn't exactly be comfortable in that fact. But still, he didn't want to tie the boy down, and if he wanted to leave, then he was more than free to leave.
