Being a kid in this war makes me a liability for everybody else here. I don’t want that anymore. I just want to make things right, whatever that really means.
I know you did but that doesn’t mean I understand it any better now than I did then. How can you trust somebody without giving them your friendship? Isn’t that sort of an important part of it? I don’t think I could trust people I don’t consider a friend, even if it’s only a little bit of trust. Do you trust your enemies then? Have you ever done that?
…goes back to not being able to trust people that aren’t our friends. Infiltration only happened because we still let our guard down just a little bit. We’re taking precautions now to make sure this isn’t gonna happen ever again. Ways to make sure we can tell who’s who.
And our freedom isn’t destroying us.
[And yet he has a conversation with Jason that’s very similar to this later. Imagine that.]
The people I care about work as a team and we don’t isolate ourselves. And you know what? Just because your court’s working as a solid team doesn’t mean that you guys are any safer than we are. Didn’t your king just get killed? This isn’t about backstabbing or weak points. We’re ALL targets now. The problem is we can’t figure out what the pattern is yet and who’s really undermining who.
But until people start focusing on the Cult instead, we’re gonna get nowhere.
…that would mean probably re-evaluating my relationships with every single person I know. Maybe I’m scared of what I’ll find out. Who knows? I was just curious, it’s not a big deal. There a joke in here about atoms and covalent bonds, but I’m going to skip it and save what’s left of my reputation with you.
Like I said, at least I’d stand a chance though. That’s better than not arming myself at all, don’t you think?
…you’re better than some then. I’m gonna take that as a challenge to try and change your mind then. It’ll be fun, give me something to do. Knowing you, you won’t make it easy anyway.
You’re hilarious. Forget it. Just…keep all of that in mind. For whatever.
