( it's more of the same. it shouldn't bother him, at some point he should be used to catastrophic failure. he's been stuck in this Sisyphean loop for so long. what's another failure, another loss, another life.
if only it didn't bother him. things would be so much easier. )
[ why couldn't she have just fucking died, like Annie?
maybe she already has the answer to that question.
having a conversation with her is probably like getting whiplash, her moods swinging back and forth rapidly: despair and then spite, over and over. in one breath she's ready to lay down and die, and the next she's ready to stab him again. ]
You say that all the time. I definitely know you, we're talking right now. You got memory problems or something?
( he knows it isn't what she means. like people can know each other down to the marrow. he doesn't have her memorized but he knows the broad strokes more than either of them would like. knows well enough there's a 50/50 chance of this going up in smoke, why should he pretend there's not? )
[ yes Leon, that's what happens when you're hallucinating 40% of the time. at least she still has that secret. probably. falling through the ceiling probably didn't help, either. ]

Date: 2023-10-18 10:47 pm (UTC)If you're stuck here anyway, might as well make him just as miserable.
( should he navigate the conversation away from revenge? maybe. too late. Laurie should go to Kate if she wants a calm and measured beacon of hope. )
