[Frown.]
You okay, kid?
You okay, kid?
I'm...
[Skittish is the best way to describe her reaction to someone asking her... well, anything, no matter how well intentioned. She retreats behind her hair, looking up at him warily.]
-fine. I'm okay.
['For now' is more or less implied, though not outright said.]

Cool.
[Not... that he really buys that, but trying to drag it out of her probably won't be terribly helpful.]
Just... you know, if things weren't okay, somebody out there might be able to help out a little.

[That earns a quiet laugh, head ducking further as she shakes it, slow and disbelieving.]
No. There isn't- no one helps.
No one ever helps.
[Except for Sue, but... She was an exception.]

[Except for Sue, but... She was an exception.]
Yeah. People really suck.
[He tilts his head a little, trying to get a glimpse of the kid behind that hair.]
But, you know, sometimes a person can make a big difference.

It's not...
[She doesn't want to make a blanket statement like that but. In her experience, it's... mostly true, unfortunately.]
But there are good people. There just aren't enough of them, it feels like.

Heh. Welcome to the world, kid.
[He shrugs.]
But most people aren't "bad" either, just caught up in their own lives.

All they want to do is hurt people.
You don't understand.
[She shrinks in on herself, clutching her arms.]
You don't know what they did.

[...there's another her.
This is so weird.]
I don't know why anyone would think otherwise.

[Try meeting a version of yourself from nearly forty years ago. Now that was weird.]
They just don't know how mean people can be. Or maybe they like being mean too.

[Okay, you definitely win.]
No, I think... I think some of them really believe it. That not everyone wants to hurt others.
They probably don't know any better.

Wait, what? Pig's blood? Oh hell no. You fuck those guys up, Carrie.

[Another frown. He hazards a step closer and leans down a little to look her in the eye.]
Want to talk about it?
Want to talk about it?
[She had wanted to believe that too once, had argued with momma that not everyone was bad... and look what happened to her.]
... They're lucky.
... They're lucky.
[The momentary kindnesses only make the inevitable cruelty that much worse.]
They are. It must be nice, not havin' the world constantly reminding you of how bad it can get.

[She flinches back, almost out of reflex at this point, and shakes her head with her lips pressed firmly together.]
I-I'd rather not, It...
[It was painful. Humiliating.]
It's something I'd rather not think about, if I don't have to.

[Whoah, okay, he gets the message from that flinch and quickly takes that step back. He raises his hands apologetically and, hopefully, conveying the message that he wasn't going to hurt her.]
Okay.
So what do you want to talk about?
Okay.
So what do you want to talk about?
They already have.
[Her whole life has been one hurt after another.]
And I don't want it to happen again. It's-- I don't want to go through it all over...

Um...
[Hesitantly-]
She says you're a wizard- m-my mun, that is. But I thought... well. Aren't wizards supposed to be--
[Not 'evil' but... well. 'Wizard' is a lot different from 'telekinetic', in the grand scheme of things.]
You seem too nice, is all.

Maybe that's why they like these... weird games so much.
[Escapism. Makes sense. Carrie'd be lying if she said she didn't want to indulge in something like that.]

I wouldn't wish it on anyone, no... it's awful.
[Despite what she's done, she's not a mean-spirited sort of girl. It's just not in her.]
But I wish they'd understand that-- that putting people through those kinds of things just isn't right.

[Boy, wouldn't that be nice?]
Probably. After all, pretending's the easiest way to ignore the bad things, isn't it?
