But he's dating Karen now. She feels really alone? But she's not. She'll be okay. Probably won't date for a while, but I don't think she'll sleep around quite like she did before, either.

observe the evidence

also [rough] translations under the cut because it's fuckin hilarious

she actually really likes him, even if he still has the orbs and punched her grandparents. they have a surprising amount of fun together and sass it up at the bar together and apparently have movie nights? she probably doesn't really... trust him exactly but at the same time she also doesn't care what he thinks of her as much as she does with most other people, so in a sense she's less inclined to censor herself when she's with him

[9:00:13 PM] Phoebe: "I figured as much. Really, it's... yeah. It's fine.

It's not your fault. You couldn't have known.

Would you... mind if I ask you a question, though? If that's okay..."

[9:01:31 PM] Candice: "You can ask, and I'll try to answer."

[9:02:29 PM] Phoebe: "Was that the first time? The only time, that is.

I'd just like to know."

[9:03:25 PM] Candice: "The first time was a long time ago.

I swear I had no idea. I may be a little loose, but I'm not that skanky."

[9:04:56 PM] Phoebe: "... Okay. Thanks.

And really, it's fine. Not your fault that he didn't tell you.

it all just keeps coming back to internalizing all of that anger and redirecting it back towards her, thinking of all the things she should have done

After two years, they're very soon to be officially over. It was only a matter of time, but she still isn't okay. I'm not sure how she expected it to happen, but it wasn't like that. It wasn't so easy.
