 [03:12] GA: There's a knock on Lily's door.

 [03:12] MT: Lily tries not to open it too eagerly. She fails.

 [03:13] GA: Dina's eyes looks empty of her usual spark of excitement. "bed."

 [03:14] GA: "i-i need to use your bed."

 [03:14] MT: "Um."

 [03:15] MT: "First of all, fuck you, what gives you the right to ask me for anything when you sided with that murderer, and second of all why do you need it."

 [03:16] GA: She's silent for a few moments. "i need to sleep..."

 [03:16] GA: "for a while. maybe. maybe a long time."

 [03:17] MT: "Oh."

 [03:18] GA: "s-sorry..."

 [03:19] MT: "You think an apology is going to fix this?"

 [03:20] MT: "And why can't you just use the pillows from fort - " She falters. "Fort Punchbutt?"

 [03:21] GA: Dina doesn't say anything, just shuffles away dejectedly.

 [03:21] GA: Doesn't even close the door. Rude.

 [03:23] MT: "Wait no COME BACK."

 [03:23] GA: She stops.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:24] MT: "The fuck is going on with you?" She looks...well, not concerned per se, but at the very least perturbed.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:25] MT: "You sounded fine in the memo, but you sure as hell aren't right now. What's going on?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:26] GA: She speaks without turning around. "i was still running on adrenaline"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:26] GA: "and typing is... easier to maintain a facade with."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:27] MT: "...yeah, no kidding."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:28] MT: "What happened, though." She frowns. "Or, y'know, just turn around and don't tell me shit as usual."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:29] GA: She turns slowly. "ryspor was angry at nate. he did not know sami killed thiago. i brought sami and nate to him, to talk it out."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:30] GA: "ryspor decided to take out his anger on me, to punish nate and sami for what they did by losing me. sami tried to flood the place with, what i think was laughing gas... his bones started breaking... he was suffocating, i got away... then he disappeared."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:31] GA: "then we got the message."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:32] MT: "Do you swear that is the truth," she says. "Swear on...on your honor as an arbitrix of justice."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:33] GA: "i swear." She says it with a hollow honor, like she honestly couldn't care enough to lie."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:36] MT: She looks at her. Then she walks forward and takes her hand, gently. "Vyllen's using my bed right now, but I have his room key. C'mon, you can use his."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:37] GA: "thank you." Dina follows.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:38] GA: "im sorry. i just wanted to trust my friends. but im not sure if trust is a privelage that i can be giving out any longer."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:39] MT: "Yeah, I...get that. Kind of really well."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:42] MT: "Why did you come to me, then?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:44] GA: "... i dont want to leave anyone else on a bad note."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:44] MT: "Huh?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:45] GA: "the last thing ryspor will ever remember of me was my refusal to take his side. my betrayal."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:46] MT: "...Oh. Right. You two were pretty good friends, right?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:47] GA: "we... we were like brothers."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:48] MT: "Oh jeez." She looks at him sympathetically. "Dad, I didn't..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:49] GA: "its okay." She squeezes Lily's hand ever so slightly. "he's with our other friends now."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:49] MT: "I mean, um, if he feels the same way about you he can't stay mad at you forever, right?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:50] MT: "And there's tons of alternate Doirs in the bubbles too, so he's not alone either!"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:50] GA: She says nothing, just nods a bit.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:52] MT: She looks at her with a pained expression. "He's not gone. Just like Thiago isn't."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:52] MT: "As...as l <span style="color:rgb(137,104,255);">ong as we remember him, he's right here with us."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:54] MT: "That's what Beau said, anyways. I thought it made sense."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:55] GA: "i never got what that saying really meant until now."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:56] GA: "i hope they know they're being remembered."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:56] MT: "They do," she says firmly.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:58] MT: "They definitely do, because they know they'd've done the same for us."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [03:59] GA: Dina just looks at the hallway slowly moving past them solemnly, tears starting to stream from her eyes. "yeah. yeah, they would."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:00] MT: She looks at her, then gently wraps her arms around her.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:04] GA: Dina accepts the wraphug graciously.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:06] MT: "It's gonna be OK," she says quietly. "I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but it's gonna be ok."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:07] GA: "is it?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:08] MT: "As an experienced grieving professional, I can confirm with 100% certainty that it will be."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:09] GA: "ok"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:10] MT: She lets go. "C'mon, Vyllen's room is right here."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:11] GA: Dina lets herself be guided into the room.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:12] MT: She hands him the key. "You can just use this whenever. Vyllen's not gonna be using it, anyways."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:13] GA: "alright." She takes it. "thank you."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:14] MT: "No problem." She fidgets in place for a minute.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:14] MT: "...if you could say something to him, what would it be?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:16] GA: She looks down. "im so, so, so... sorry..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:18] MT: "I think he knows."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:18] MT: "Wherever he is, I think he knows."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:19] GA: "what... would you say to yours?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:20] MT: "...the same, honestly." She chuckles wryly. "Huh. What are the odds. Both our Tezetis died knowing we betrayed them."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:23] GA: "yeah..." Dina swipes her keycard and enters. "if you need anything... just call."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [04:23] MT: "...yeah. Ok. Maybe I'll do that." She waves. "Bye."
