[By this point, Accelerator is one hundred percent certain John feels the same way, regardless of how he does or does not express (or acknowledge) those feelings. It's hard to tell if Harold's told John about any of this, and he doesn't really want to ask, not when it's clear Harold is having to go through enough right now. Untangling the mess of what he assumes are some complex "wanting to stay here, but needing to go home" feelings is a lot for anyone to be dealing with.

Chances are you're going to have to figure that out.
[Similar to how he had to figure out how to live his life after it was finally beaten into him that the clones were people, and that he had been killing real people for months. Of course, he had it easier than Harold does, because he wasn't floundering aimlessly with nothing to hold onto. He at least had Last Order, and the remaining clones. They gave him purpose.
He remembers back to a conversation he and the #5 had, supposing there are also similarities in the way both the dead clones and John have had to live in secrecy. So....]
Your memories of him might be the only proof he existed back home, so that could be a start. Living as that remnant of him.
