— features rogue protocol and exit strategy
this is my surprised face.
getting proof wouldn't be hard.
i wasn't annoyed at all. not one bit.
you can't tell anyone i'm here.
it couldn't be this easy.
it doesn't sound like you.
i want to make sure it's safe.
now i have to check it out to prove you wrong.
we're friends, and friends call each other by name.
i hadn't realized this was a perk until now.
i didn't know what i wanted.
but don't mind me, it's not like i know what i'm doing or anything.
oh, a running joke, those aren't annoying at all.
it shouldn't be weird, but it's weird.
i mean, if i was going to attack someone, i couldn't have picked a better spot.
the only way out of this is to kill them.
why are you pointing that at me?
i know you know that, asshole.
do you have any idea what attacked us?
telling the truth was sort of working out for me.
does that sound terrifying? because it was terrifying.
sorry, it's not personal.
oh, that's not suspicious at all.
you were there when it counted.
possibly i was overthinking this.
i should be over this by now.
well, that was all useless.
i mean, there's a first time for everything.
note i said "supposedly."
i didn't know if i could trust them.
why should i trust you? you obviously don't trust us.
i forgot what an asshole you are.
i'm almost glad you're here.
i'm not your enemy. i'm just cautious.
i'm going to touch you, don't freak out.
i handled the situation very badly. i apologize.
i should have had more confidence in you.
it made me feel like a person.
i wish you trusted me, but i understand why you didn't.
no one gets to walk away from that.
you have no idea what i am.
you're afraid, you're hurt, and you need to calm the fuck down so we can get through this situation alive.
that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard.
