Former member, Sam wants to say, except. Except that's complicated, Sam knows that much from his talks with Kurloz, and it's not Sam's place to say something like that. It's one thing for Sam to be willing to stick by Kurloz even with his past, it's another for him to try to tell someone who might've experienced it something like that.
There's more than one reason that Sam'd held on to Kurloz's hand, and he's really glad he did when Kurloz starts trying to move after him. Sam keeps holding on tight, both to give his friend something to hang on to, and to keep him from moving.
"Of course they matter. Helping him right now doesn't make what they went through any less significant, it's not a betrayal to them because you're helping someone who was on the other side, okay? It just makes you better." At least Sam has some experience there, though he's a little gentler here than the times he'd had to snap something like that out to a soldier who tried to tell him not to give medical attention to someone just because they weren't a US citizen.
He untwists himself a little, now that he's sure Psiioniic isn't caught up in flashbacks, or whatever the Alternian equivalant is.
"And don't even try to tell me something like that. If you think I'd consider leaving you alone like this for even a second, man, you're gonna be severely disappointed. What part of 'I got your back' did you not understand?"
