my bad lol

[matermali]

[ Whomst??? ]

It sounds like you had a difficult day.

[astraphilia]

oh yeah you know. it's like rhat sometimes

you try to protect pepple snd you fail em and then you get aa second chance and you fsil en again. the usual

[matermali]

'The luck of the third adventure is proverbial.'

Is something denying you a third chance?

[astraphilia]

she's dead

[matermali]

I am sorry to hear it.

Who was she?

[astraphilia]

tough question. not really a froend

she should have hated me all things considered but for some rdason she didn't

and I should have protec tyed her but I didn't

[matermali]

Why should she have hated you?

[astraphilia]

long fucking story. even longer fucking story.

[ and even through the haze of the drink and the filter of anonymity Reno doesn't feel totally right telling it. ]

let's just say I wasn't good to her. the company treated her real bad. she deserved better

[matermali]

Yet you say that she never hated you. Perhaps she thought that you deserved better, as well.

[astraphilia]

[ ya got him stumped there, anonymouse. Reno's never once in his life considered the possibility that anyone might think he deserves better than his lot in life. ]

I dunno. don't think so anyway. I don't deserve better

[matermali]

Where do you draw this line? For those who deserve hope and those who don't?

[astraphilia]

around myself I guess. what business do I have decidin what other people deserve

[matermali]

Is that where this company of yours expects you to draw the line?

[astraphilia]

no. company doesn't give a fuck about morals

[matermali]

So, you are not your company.

If she could see that, then perhaps she saw something else.
