>Ava: try and tell Quin how it's not so bad the second time, how it seemed like your shadow just wanted you to acknowledge some stuff??



"So, uh..."
"Yeah?"
"I did my little test-thing again...with the shadow stuff. It was really scary, but I...did it! I think?"



"You just gotta, like, listen to it, y'know?"

Oh really.

"I think you should try again! And there was a lot of us there the last time...maybe it'd be better with just the two of us. More breathing room, or something. Less pressure? Uh..."

>Quin: resist the urge to tell Ava that's easy for HER to say since her shadow was just a needy wimp



shut up shut up shut up shut UP

"...could discover something..."

Was she even PAYING ATTENTION the last time? Is she an idiot? She's an idiot!

"...it'll be fun!..."

Not EVERYONE has an inner SNIVELING BABY, Ava dearie.



No no no no it's not--her problems are different. That's all. They're different. They're DIFFERENT and have NOTHING to do with yours so why should you even CARE and god why does she just keep TALKING to you and

She's just trying to cheer you up. Isn't she? Is she?

You hate it! You hate her! Why do you have to keep looking at her? Why can't she just go away?! You'd feel SO much better if she just wasn't here. Ever.

SHE'S JUST TRYING TO BE NICE

you're a monster.



Stop.

Breathe. Breathe! Don't freak out in front of her!

"...and...um..."

Haven't you said enough stupid shit to her in one night? Does she deserve it, really? What's wrong with you? Why are you so mad at her all the time? Why does this keep happening?!

"Quin?"

but you have to respond to her YOU HAVE TO RESPOND
