I never planned on it. Making her see reality is a different story.

[psycholawgy]

Don't try anything.

... If you do, I'll get really mad at you.

[swordboning]

I'll give you a couple days. I'll face your anger in return for making sure she doesn't get tortured by others.

[psycholawgy]

If you know of anybody else who wants to do something about it, or her. . . [ She looks at the floor when she says it. Myriam is still somebody she feels responsible for, so she'll do whatever she can to get her out of trouble. ]

Tell them to come to me, okay? Don't let them go to Myriam.

[swordboning]

No. I absolutely refuse. Outside of Rin, you're the other person I'd prefer to keep from harm. Don't own up to mistakes that aren't your own.

[psycholawgy]

If there's anybody who can get to her, it's me.

Or maybe Mr. Wright. E- Either way...! I've decided.

[swordboning]

Decide all you want. Unless something happens, words are worthless.

[psycholawgy]

Was that all you wanted to say?

[swordboning]

....no.

[psycholawgy]

Oh, alright then. Go on.

[swordboning]

Thank you for being a friend.

[Wow, that was hard to come out.]

[psycholawgy]

Wha- Did you really just say that?

[swordboning]

I'm not going to repeat myself. Accept your praises.

[psycholawgy]

Well, I am a great friend, it's true!

[ Who said anything about patting her own as internally... ]

But friendship works in two ways, you know.

[swordboning]

I'm leaving now. Enjoy your pie and the rest of the day.

[psycholawgy]

I'm not done yet!

[swordboning]

Make it quick then.

[psycholawgy]

Thanks for being my friend!

I obviously can't do the same things you can, but I'm going to do everything in my power to help you... no matter what.

It didn't seem like we were going to be friends, but you were patient with me. You've even helped me out so many times, and I really appreciate everything you've done for me. I can only hope to see you smile without any baggage one of these days.

[swordboning]

....I'm really leaving now.

[Actually getting up and heading for the door. Enjoy your pie.]

[psycholawgy]

[ RUDEASS PUNK YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE????

She doesn't get up from her seat when he leaves, though. In fact, she looks so proud of herself. What an awful human being. What an awful conversation. What an awful Caleb. ]

[swordboning]

[Yep, just heading out the door. ADIOS.]
