[another distinct pause]

A bit of both I guess. I mean, he had his excuse, of course. But I'm getting a little tired of people trying to excuse terrible things they did with some tragic backstory.

God, fuck that excuthe. Great, there'th a reathon behind their fuck up- but they thtill fucked up, right? All the goddamn tearjerkerth in the world aren't going to fix the bullthit they did or make anyone feel better about getting fucked over.

Or bring anyone back to life. [and that was... probably more than alex meant to say.]

[...Oh.]

...Raw deal, kid.

[you can practically hear him shrugging over the line here.]

I'm getting used to it.

But you thouldn't have to, right?

I mean, bullthit ith bullthit forever.

I wind up doing a lot of things I shouldn't have to. [a sad and simple fact, really.]

But we don't have to accept it.

Maybe not, but I didn't like myself when I got angry about it.

You don't have to get angry. You jutht have to not accept it.

I'm fourteen years old. Again. As much as I'd like to pretend otherwise, that doesn't leave me with much control over my life. [and that's the closest alex will come to admitting that he's basically being blackmailed back home.]

Here, or there?

[a short laugh.] Funny enough, I actually have a bit more control over my life here than back home.

Well hey, there'th a bright thide then.

Or thomething.

Or something, yes.

If you ever wanna... I dunno, do junk over where I am, you can come over whenever.

[alex's laughter starts sort of low but grows in strength quickly enough.]

Are you inviting me over for a playdate, Psii?

Thure, let me jutht get the tiny adorable thandwiches and thit to make it all proper and junk.

[still laughing a little, he can't help it okay, the conversation is almost surreal at this point.]

Good, I'd hate to find myself at an improper playdate.

Don't worry. I'm a gentletroll. It will be tho proper. Proper ath ballth.

[This asshole]

Perfect, I'm looking forward to it.
