[The problem is, there really is a part of him that means it. There's a large part of him that is genuinely happy, sincerely proud, because he knew it would happen and because he wants Felix to not feel trapped here, to not feel trapped anywhere. He doesn't want him to be miserable. It's a powerful portion of whatever the hell his thoughts and the tightness in his chest are doing right now. It makes him want to go there, right now, and embarrass Felix with the sheer amount of noise he's capable of, and maybe throw him up against something and kiss his brains out, and then go get really, really drunk and celebrate.
But there's another part, too, the one he is both meticulously suppressing because to give in to it now is... he doesn't know what he'll say or do; but it's also suppressing him, keeping him from just going there, keeping him rooted to the spot and off the camera. He doesn't even hesitate.]
No, really. [And now it tips more towards the sincere side, because he does mean it.] You never deserved to be stuck here forever.
