[Hiro's not sure if he could begin to try understand if Al did explain. From the way Al talks, it's as if previously the armor itself was his body. Then again, the size of Al now certainly wouldn't match up with the armor in him being able to use and wear it properly. So it's all the more confusing, but for now he focuses on attempting to help as best he can, letting Al dress as he joins him at the sofa next to the scrawnier teen.]

I did wonder. I can usually always hear the clanking from the armor. I haven't seen you without it until now. But the armor isn't here now at all? That is weird.....

[Maybe less so if he knew the truth behind it. But all the same. It's concerning. Al can't manage much at all in this condition. Can barely manage to stand or walk far at all.]
