#bark.

(summarized original comic dialogue)

hold on now, i didn't come all this way for nothing. i have a request. try something new.

(new dialogue)

i've spent a frankly obscene amount of time analyzing you. 177 resets. each time, i tried to get you to join me. each time, you refused. i couldn't understand why; i concluded a while ago that there's some sadistic part of you that enjoys hurting me. so why were you so averse to trying something new?

probably cause i'm not a fuckin sadist, kid—
