[...]

I'll try to remember.

[Ruefully...]

Um... I'm okay. [...] As...okay as we can be in a situation like this, you know...? What about you?

[wrongtiming]

[He hesitates for a moment, but...]

I just keep thinking... that at least we'll probably still be able to talk to him after this. [...] But maybe trying to find a silver lining is messed up.

[messianic]

[He shakes his head quietly.]

No... I don't think so. I think...we have to do anything that helps us here, you know?

It's only human to do that.

[wrongtiming]

...Yeah.

[He isn't sure whether or not he agrees with that, but all the same, he moves on quickly.]

Were you good friends with him?

[messianic]

I think I was... though he might not have agreed.

[A small, rueful smile.]

But I wanted him to fee better about himself. And... now he doesn't really have that chance, you know?

[It's pretty heartbreaking.]

[wrongtiming]

He was... weird about that kind of stuff. He kept acting like there was a one week limit before I was going to start hating him.

[He sighs.]

Yeah. It's - there are a lot of really awful things about this place, but this is a big one.

[messianic]

... Yeah. They're trying to divide us, you know?

To...make us suspect each other, and not feel like we can have companions here.

[wrongtiming]

...Yeah, they are. But that's not true.

[And so—]

If you need anything, you can let me know.

[messianic]

... Yeah. I believe you.

[A small smile at that.]

Thank you. And that's true for you, too. If you need anything... I'll be here, okay?

[wrongtiming]

[He nods, his smile growing more sincere.]

Thanks. You're a good friend.
