[ic thread continuation]

[continued from here]

...I can't... fucking stand the thought. I don't want to do this forever. I don't know if I can. I'm not that... patient, and I'm not good with empty hope and shit. But... if she flat out said it, that it'd never happen... fuck, I don't know what I'd do.

And hell. What if she didn't say it? I can't ask.

I know that much. I just... didn't think it'd change at all. Well, not that it's gonna, necessarily.

I would be very surprised to learn that your friendship is not still important to her, no matter how much it has been strained.

I wasn't sure of that until she got here.

And now?

...She cares about me, yeah. Even if the past won't go away.

There's a lot still unsaid between you. So much so that the silence seems like it will drown out your words.

...Yeah, but a lot of it isn't said, 'cause then we'd have to admit it's true.

You almost remind me of each other.

Huh?

You and Sera.

What're you talking about? We're nothing alike.

You carry your guilt and your sorrow in the same way.

...There are only so many ways to do that anyway.

True enough.

So, not really important...

In the end, you'll have to make the most difficult decisions on your own.

Guess that's life, huh...

Part of it.

There's a lot of emphasis out there on... people being together, but a lot of the important stuff happens alone.

People being together?

You know. Just togetherness.

It may just be our different backgrounds, but I've never been surprised at the most profound of moments coming from individuals alone.

I don't know about profound, but yeah.

[Kneels down, reaching out to cup his cheek.]

H-hey, what-?

There is still a difference between being alone and being lonely.

Not sure I know it, if so.

No.

Well... doesn't matter.

[Smiles.]

I think you'll do okay.

Wha-? Well, I mean, of course I... uh.

Of course.

[And stands up again.]

...Thanks.

Anytime.
