on her boyfriend's termination

[heathermason]

Look, I know Sollux is dead, okay? What else is there to say? I don't wanna talk about it. I don't wanna think about it. I just want you to leave me alone about it and I want to forget about it for a while.

No, I'm not okay. Who would be? It's not getting any easier. It never does.

Well that's good.

[a long, long pause]

It means you're still not as low as her.

[foolishwren]

I don't know.

I still tried.

_{[And slapped her around a fair bit before actually trying to land a finishing blow, too.]}

[heathermason]

But you didn't do it.

C'mon.

You know that what you almost did... what you thought about doing doesn't matter. Because it wasn't what you did.

[foolishwren]

I dunno, man.

That sounds like it should be the case. Like it's supposed to be the case.

But it sure doesn't feel that way.

All it feels like is...

... Is that I set out to do something awful, making me a monster, and then failed at it, which means I also suck at sticking to my guns.

Either way you look at it...

[heathermason]

[A beat.]

Yeah...

But I don't wanna think about it out like. We don't wanna think about it like that.

Maybe we don't have to.

[foolishwren]

I guess.

I doubt she'll be back, anyhow.

... Maybe I should just try to forget it even happened.

[heathermason]

Might not be a good idea.

I know this guy at the Facility who did that and... it didn't end so well for him.

[foolishwren]

... What happened to him?

accidentally responded to this as Anne originally haha

[heathermason]

They stuck him in a mental hospital.

[a beat]

And then he uh... got stuck in Silent Hill.

[foolishwren]

... Stuck in Silent Hill?

Who was it?
