With those words from Tora... Hinata couldn't help but be confused.
With the time this team has had together, Tora seemed to be somewhat childish. He seemed like the guy that didn't know what the word serious meant.
This type of attitude seemed somewhat unexpected from him.
Hinata fell silent, as Tora smiled. It was a warm, comforting smile that everyone would want directed at them. It was a smile telling Hinata he was okay, they'd be okay, all would turn out right.
It was a sign to Hinata that this time he wouldn't end up alone. That this time the people around him were different, that he did have the chance to start anew.
Suddenly the grave decision of whether he should tell Tora his problems or not, became nothing but a simple talk.

In all honesty, Tora was surprised at himself as well. Tora was never one to show any deep concern for anyone. Or their feelings. All the countless times Tora had pranked and played his friends, Tora showed no concern for their wellbeing.
