[In this case, "something else" is probably all the trauma he's been through since getting here, and it's still strange, to realize he's got more than just the scars on his back now, marking him as a different person. He can't ever go back to being the person he was before the Vanquish, before the Overlook, before feeling his best friend die, before realizing to what lengths he'd go to protect the people he loved.
He misses the person he was before, sometimes. Most of the time, really, because everything had seemed easier before this had all happened. And there's really no question in his mind that going through all of it would have been easier if she'd been there to lean on and keep optimistic for. He's sort of not sure how honest he wants to be about what's happened, wondering if she'll notice and what she'll think when she does.
