Save it.

[?]

I don't need you patronising me. Telling me... that what I did was okay. It wasn't. It was right, but it wasn't okay. I've accepted that, and you need to do the same.

Comments

[ruvik]

Have you really accepted it? Or do you just tell yourself that you have?

[fewbumps]

I-- Go to Hell. None of this would've even been necessary if you hadn't shown up.

[ruvik]

And all of your efforts were for nothing.

Poor Joseph. How does it feel to have shot him?

[fewbumps]

I'll find you. Don't think you're getting away again, Ruvik.

[Tense. Fuck, why does he have to bring that up?]

That was an accident. [Don't let him get to you, Julie. You've been trained for this.] I'd ask how it felt to ruin a kid's life, but I don't think I'd like the answer.

[ruvik]

Of course it was. You would have liked to shoot Leslie too.

[fewbumps]

I wouldn't have liked it. It had to be done.

[ruvik]

And yet you not only failed to complete your objective, you also shot a comrade. Were you planning to kill Seb as well?

[fewbumps]

No--!

[Too much emotion. Reign it in. Remember the training.]

I haven't failed yet. You know that.

[ruvik]

But you have. You will never find the boy, and without him you can never find me.

[fewbumps]

You're underestimating me. Not a smart move.

Besides, you're right here. That's good enough for me. I can find Leslie later. Keep him save, make sure you never get him.

[ruvik]

Do you really think you can succeed in controlling me? Containing me?

[fewbumps]

Why don't we find out?

[ruvik]

How do you intend to do that?

[fewbumps]

C'mon, you're a genius, aren't you? You figure it out. Or are you just another psychopath with a fetish for playing God?

[ruvik]

I'm wondering why you didn't destroy me the easy way from the very beginning. Perhaps you have a fetish for torture.

[fewbumps]

Killing you immediately wasn't my mission.

[Scoff. You're gross, Ruvik.]

Torture fetish? That's rich coming from you.

[ruvik]

If you're implying I have a torture fetish you don't know the meaning of the word.

[inunokimi]

Then you needn't sound guilty.

[fewbumps]

I've tried telling myself that. Doesn't seem to be working too well.

[inunokimi]

Why do humans make their decisions so complicated?

[fewbumps]

Morals. Ethics. They make things a hell of a lot harder.

[monstrous_science]

A lot of people don't understand that there needs to be people who can make tough choices.

[fewbumps]

Nice someone actually gets it, for once.

[monstrous_science]

Well, there WOULD be one less psychically enabled monster on the loose, if you'd been allowed to just shoot him.

[fewbumps]

And one more dead kid.
