[depthlesslock]

I do get it.

[protective_logic]

Pretty sure you don't.

[depthlesslock]

I've lost people too, D, because of the decisions I made.

[protective_logic]

He was all I had. The only thing I ever had.

[depthlesslock]

What about your family?

[protective_logic]

The only thing I ever had and ever wanted that I chose. I never chose my family. I'm responsible for them whether I want it or not. But him...

Never mind. It doesn't matter.

[depthlesslock]

It damn well does matter. Ow...

Look, D, it sucks. Seriously sucks. And it's gonna take a long time to move on, but it will happen. Eventually. Even though it seems it won't.

[protective_logic]

If you think I can move on, you don't know me at all. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

[depthlesslock]

...Will you try?

[protective_logic]

There are no answers to that that will make anyone happy.

[depthlesslock]

Just.... try. It won't be easy, but it will be so mu-sh harder if you don't.

[searchandrecovery]

....on a scale from one to Errera, how hung over are you?

And yeah, he is. Trust me. I know myself, and I know my asshole habits.

[depthlesslock]

...Errera. Di'n't get the fun'f it though.

He's been throughalot.

[searchandrecovery]

The fuck were you doing that for?

Yeah, I got that. He's forgotten why we were fighting in the first place, he treats me like an idiot, and the worst part is, he might be right. And I can't let him be.

[depthlesslock]

Finding out wha- he's been through.

s'not right. Not f'r you. That won't happen t'you.

[searchandrecovery]

What, he gave you the stabbing in the back story again?

I hope not. I wasn't...

[ a sigh. ] When I came here, became a merc, all that, I told myself I wouldn't become that kind of person.

[depthlesslock]

No, he gave me the crazy AI c'mitted suicide in his head 'n' all his friends died story.

Y'won't. Won't let you. You'll never end up like that.

[searchandrecovery]

Suicide in his head?

No, I damn well won't. He's no better than him.

[depthlesslock]

Gave 'im a bun-sh of mem'ries of torture it had been through. He couldn't r'memeber what was him 'nd what was it f'ra long time.

Who's "him"?

[searchandrecovery]

Funny. He never mentioned that.

I never told you how I wound up in Gulch, huh?

[ through gritted teeth: ]

Our dear old dad.

[depthlesslock]

Only told me last night. S'fucked up, Wash, I dunno how he made it through.

Oh. M'guessing that's bad.

[searchandrecovery]

Then I can understand the hangover.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

[depthlesslock]

Yeah. Wanna help him.

How's he like y'r dad?

[searchandrecovery]

Good luck with that. We're pretty stubborn.

Try cold, angry, cares about no one but himself and how the world wronged him, and hurts people so easily for all the wrong reasons. Thinks he's so tough.

[depthlesslock]

So? Never stopped me 'fore.

After what he went through, 'm not surprised he's those things. He is tough. Don't know y'r dad though.
