There's more to it than that. He knows there's so clearly and obviously more to it than that - but he let's it go. One gentle pry was more than enough for the current moment, especially since it had yielded no results. Zack looks utterly exhausted, and the very last thing he wants - that he ever wants - is to add anymore stress or weight to those shoulders.
So instead he simply reaches for his tablet, pushes himself up from the shadows, dusts himself off and straightens his hair. It doesn't do much to add to his over all appearance - his hair is too far gone at this point to even hold it's natural shape - but it makes him feel better.]
I'll go. You should stay here and rest. [You know what the nicest thing about Cloud being all grown up is, Zack? You have someone else to keep watch.]
