[...Well. Rich does understand why Linden would want to talk about the SQUIP. After the mess he had been a part of, Jeremy probably would have helped provide some of the information he hopefully needs to make the right choice and remove himself from the SQUIP's side.
He has to at least realize now that he was wrong. He was just as manipulated as Rich and Jeremy had been before him. Rich wants to help him come to terms with that. Any decent human being deserves that much.
He hesitates as Jeremy gets ready to leave, long enough to hear Linden's mumbling. He winces softly and looks between the two of them.
...He's here to keep Jeremy safe, so there shouldn't be a problem.]
Hey. You should come with us. We can walk you home, so you can get there okay.
[Or maybe somewhere else, Rich is implying in his tone. He doesn't want Linden around the SQUIP, so it can try to make more excuses for treating people terribly.]
