"I don't want you to go through all that again. Being alone, I mean. And I know you can handle tougher things now than I ever have." It was Law, after all, who succeeded in bringing down Doflamingo. Even if it was hard, even if it was help - and that's the real key anyway, isn't it? Some things probably shouldn't be done alone.
So they won't. They have each other. He reaches for a saucer near the head of his bed he uses as an ashtray and taps the cigarette over it. "I'll have your back and you'll have mine. Either we both make it through this, or neither of us do."
Easy enough to say, anyway. It might sound convincing to anyone else, but they both know how Rosinante is. It's true, he doesn't want Law to be alone, but equally he must protect Law because he will accept nothing less from himself.
