</ /3: . ii had worn out a lot of my stories by then. nothing i did was enough to keep the audience off my back. i was terrified of what they could do, and my fear was enough to drag me in. mandela reminded me of myself, somehow. i just felt something.. horrible there. something just like me that pulled in whatever it could and refused to let go . something desperate.

</ /3: i chose you as a vessel because, somehow, you were the only one there who resisted it. maybe it was ignorance, or maybe it was just.. how you were. i wanted to see if i could break that in you, that calmness, and i did. i broke everything i could find.

</ /3: .. .

</ /3: and now that i know better, i regret it every second of my life.

., .

</ /3: ,. i’m sorry, thatcher. i’m sorry it had to be you, or clover, or any of the other people i’ve torn apart. i’m sorry the only reason you’re here right now is because, out of every single person on earth, you were just unlucky. and i’m., ii’m sorry i’m the reason you stayed that way.

</ /3: it doesn’t mean anything now, but i wanted you to know that. i wanted you to know tthat you still have a chance outside of all this. outside of me.

., . ..

</ /3: .., . ii’m so sorry .

.

.

.

sorry won’t change what you did.

</ /3: .. i know.

. ,.

. if i hadn’t killed you for it first.. would you still have apologized?

</ /3: no. you know i wouldn’t have seen the point if i wasn’t forced to. but who else can i tell? i lost my grip on clover, so it’s not like she can hear me - she wasn’t meant to be here anyway, no offense again . everyone else is just ., dead. not that i can do anything about it now.

.. . alright. fuck this. i’m out.

</ /3: good. no use in talking to me now.

is there ever?

</ /3: who knows? oh, and for the soul.. things. you might need to leave the county to use them right? a blank slate would be better for the both of you, i think ., i don’t know. i’ve never really done this. so .

.. where have i heard that before.

…

</ /3: what’s wrong?

.. the last time i left.. nnot the time you’re thinking, but ., i forgot everything. everything that happened to me, and then ssome. i can’t myself do that again.

</ /3: . oh yeah the particle rearranging. oops. well, it won’t.

</ /3: mainly because you kind of didn’t? :P

.

okay what the hell are you talking about

</ /3: the soul forgets how things happen, doofus. the body doesn’t. from what i know. it keeps a map in there, a catalogue your soul’s too weak to make of when and where you get all messed up. it’s kind of a human thing.

i’m sure mine’s thicker than the fucking bible.

</ /3: probably. you felt it, right? in the time i can’t see? everything had to have come back eventually. at first in little pieces, then bigger shards, then mirrors.. it all found you, one way or another. i don’t doubt it made you sick because of me, too.

</ /3: that trauma.. physical or mental, it forms who you are. how you act.

</ /3: did you really think you’d be able to run away from it all, just by leaving where it happened?

., .

</ /3: .. this’ll follow you forever, man. your own soul or not.

</ /3: there’s always going to be that part of you that never gets out of here.

..

.

hm.

</ /3: “hm”?

i’m acknowledging what you said. i’m not saying thank you, if that’s what you want.

</ /3: why would i?

.. if we try these, and they don’t work..

</ /3: they will ., hopefully. goodbye.

i never want to see you again.

</ /3: same goes to you. and.. uh. thatcher?

what?

</ /3: for the love of god, find a better place to live. this county’s horrible with or without me., and. um.

</ /3: .

</ /3: i hope it’ll stop hurting, one day. everything tthat happened. for you and for clover.

</ /3: .. maybe there’s somewhere nice out there for you both.

…

yeah, well.

it’s not like you’ll ever find out.

.

</ /3: ..it’s your soul. the real one. just as i left it when i took you. it’s a little weak right now, but it should be enough to fix most of the.. stuff. that happened. i’m hoping body wise? you’re goopy as shit even in here, no offense.

> …

</ /3: ., uh. you alright?

> .

> .,

> this is.. real.

</ /3: it is. can’t you feel it pulling at you?

> yeah, but yyou’re not ., why aren’t you ffucking with me.? why is .,

</ /3: .. come on, thatcher. look around. i have.. i have nothing here. even if i did want to trick you, i’ve used up so much energy i’d probably die on the spot. i don’t want to waste the time i got left. not that anyone’ll miss me, anyway.

> …

</ /3: . can you feel anything watching you anymore?

> …

> ..

..no.

</ /3: good! see? you got nothing to worry about !! no more story, yaay..

…

</ /3: .,. llisten. um. i know yyou have no reason to listen to me. or trust me. or not beat my head into the floor right here and now and kill me for the thousandth time. but being stuck here for so long has made me think about.. things.

you mean it made you realize how fucking insane you are?

</ /3: something like that, yeah.

</ /3: oh, i tried getting one for gr ., clover, too. yyeah. i’m not sure she needs it, but.. i don’t know. just thought it’d be better to cut the Both of you off. it’s not part of a story, which means it’s basically just some fancy tupperware that’ll keep all her existy-stuff in place. she’ll be able to switch between looking human and.. whatever the hell it is she likes. i don’t even know.

</ /3: it took a Lot out of me ., and by that i mean everything, hhaha. ow.

</ /3: that’s the main reason i’m dying for real, i think? this was.. yyeah. i think this was it.

…

</ /3: ., it won’t make up for anything. i know that. but it’s literally the least i could do.

…

…

…

listen to me.

i don’t forgive you, and i don’t care what you’ll try in order to get me to. i’m not taking another deal. there’s nothing you can do about it. i’ll never forgive you for everything you did to me, and to clover, and to everyone i’ve ever fucking known-

</ /3: i don’t want a deal, and i don’t want you to forgive me! that’d be insane !!

then what do you want?

</ /3: i want you to take these and get the hell out! this place probably stops existing when i die, and that’ll kill you before you can make it home.

</ /3: you and i both know you’re Sick of this shit. it can all end, here and now.

., .

</ /3: …

</ /3: ..please, man. just take ‘em. i don’t have it in me anymore.

…

if i.. if i do this, i don’t know what’ll happen to me.

</ /3: thatcher, i just told you-

i don’t remember how to be a person, okay? is that what you want to ffucking hear?

i ., i was so used to you controlling me, or.. or just having.. something happen, for weeks on end, that i barely remember what it means to do things on my own anymore! i can’t! i just.. i let mmyself get dragged around wherever anyone wants me half the time, no questions asked- i nnever know what to do when i’m alone.

aand the worst part is, i think tthat means ., ii think that means i miss it.

i think ssomething in my head misses what you did to me, because at least then i didn’t have to think about what i was doing. everything just.. went by. i rolled with it, as shitty as it all was, and now i’m never going to have tthat again.

what’s going to happen to me when ., when i get stuck in a life i have nothing to do with anymore? when i’m the reflection i can’t recognize?

what the fuck will i do with myself then?

</ /3: ., . ha ..

</ /3: hhaha.. ow, shit.

., i’m glad you think tthat’s funny.

</ /3: it’s not that, i just..

</ /3: .. jesus, man. aren’t you.. aren’t you tired of having the same conversation, over and over?

</ /3: you did this with writer when she freed you - or, tried, at least. i’m sure you wanted to do the same with ‘belt, since apparently she brought you back. aren’t you sick of reliving everything by now? feeling the same, acting the same..

</ /3: saying the same lines, without even realizing it?

..

</ /3: ..you’ve been here before, thatcher. you’ve been here so many times you don’t even know you’ve done this already.

</ /3: and if you don’t take what i’m giving you, this is where you’ll stay.
