"I would." Which, while it may not be true always, is true in this moment right now, when he's this scared and miserable. It's hard to tell Cedric that what keeps him here on bad nights is not the thought of Cedric sleeping in the next room, but just the fear of dying. Nothing more or less. He'd give up on living through fear and pain entirely if he wasn't more terrified of what might happen next. "I'm sorry."
