He knew that Shiro’s days were numbered and his vitality would fade before his prime was over. He knew that Shiro had suffered when that stress was too much for his partner and they turned away from him. He knew that Shiro had forsaken safety and comfort for one last blaze of glory to achieve the dream he’d worked so hard for. He knew he may never see him again, and that every time he did, the clock was still ticking.
For a fiery, upstart, showoff with discipline problems, Keith has become one of the most compassionate characters I’ve ever seen. Despite his fear of abandonment. Despite what had happened to his father, and despite knowing that their time was limited, Keith never gave up on Shiro. He never encouraged him to abandon his dream or to give up.

Keith: Shiro is my friend, and if I love him, it’s the way I would love an older brother.
Pidge: I have an older brother, and if he looked at me the way you look at Shiro, I would have to talk to our parents.
Adam saying, “I can’t go through this again. If you go, don’t expect me to be here waiting when you come back,” and then the next shot cutting immediately to Keith waiting by Shiro’s side, wholeheartedly committed to staying with him through this no matter what…that’s powerful stuff.
