[ Yuji doesn't want to drag his sensei down into the pit of misery and sadness that comes from the truth. He doesn't know everything that the other man has been through, isn't aware of all the sadness and hurt in his life, but he knows enough. He wants to be able to give Gojo smiles and happiness, not to be a cause of discomfort or upset - and isn't he old enough, strong enough, that he can do that? If, in his own way, he can take some of that pain away...
Biting his tongue, he stops himself from giving up, from giving in to the urge to say more, and forces something of a smile onto his face instead. With Gojo-sensei here, he thinks he can find something a little bit like happiness. Maybe he won't ever have to go back... Even though he knows he has to.
He can't give up. He refuses. ]
A little? I haven't eaten for a while.
[ His lips twitch, a more genuine smile as he rubs at his eyes and forces himself to stand up. ]

I bet you know all the good spots now, sensei.
