- Honestly, these damn places - it's infuriating how they find more and more ways to put people in the worst possible situations, force their hands beyond belief. [ its almost like....we love murdergames... not that he could know that ] And to what ends? To force you to come back and jump through some bloody hoop just to trivialise it all again? It's maddening.
[ a beat. huff. ] - 'm sorry, Rupert. I know it's pointless not to tell you to take it to heart, but - it's not your fault you were manipulated. Ugh.
[ as it turns out he's just mad on rupert's behalf actually ]
[nooooo he looks so honestly appreciative to hear that. with a little nod:]
It's... I'm not going to say it was easy, but I don't want to be the kind of person who just shrugs something like that off, either. You know? I think I owe them more than that, no matter whose fault it was.
[all the same:]
I think it was harder for the people who actually got hurt, though. I don't want to forget that either. And I didn't have to do it as long as some of the other people who got roped in, so... I guess what I mean is - I'll be alright. But thank you, genuinely.

...Makes you a good man. I knew that already, but it's beside the point. I'm just reiterating the truth.
