I figure he's torn between hoping for it and thinking it does happen.

Something among these lines:

Gai rattled his handcuffs in frustration. He would have never guessed that he'd end up falling asleep at his Aunt's house, waking up like this with his Aunt telling him that she'd left his Cellular somewhere and told one of his crewmates where to find it.

Without his Cellular or key, he bet they couldn't find him, though Don-san was capable of some amazing things; maybe he could. Probably his aunt would figure that the crew couldn't find him either. All he knew was that she thought he was crazy for joining Marvelous' crew. Maybe he was, but they mostly weren't bad folks, and the Empire did have to be overthrown. Besides, he'd made that choice, offered, and Marvelous had accepted him as crew. That made him a pirate, didn't it? A pirate on the side of good.

Besides, it was a little too late. The Empire already had an arrest warrant for him, one that would end in his execution if they found him. It was something that would horrify his aunt... if she would listen.

Eventually exhausted, he fell back asleep, the sounds of gunfire punctuating his dream.
