[Cassel spends the weekend and the first couple of days after Elena's outed pretty much just hiding in his room. He'll open the door to some people right away, some after a little persuasion, and completely ignore others.]

[After that, he starts picking up his shifts in the gym again, although he tends not to do much looking people in the eye. He can also be found scuttling away from social interaction in the dining hall.]

...Fuck. I just. You think you have this perfect life and then it turns out to be all a fucking ruse.

They did love each other, I think. I really...want to think that.

What kind of game?

[Private]

[patheticvillain]

They probably did. I don't know, maybe love means different things to different people.

It . . . he took this heirloom and switched it out for a fake. A really good fake, but a fake. It almost got her killed when Zacharov found out, and I had to save her ass.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Fuck.


Man, why are our parents so fucked up?

[Private]

[patheticvillain]

I don't know. I think maybe my mom was just - really, really scared of being alone. But maybe I'm just making excuses.

You ever think what they'd be like if they got to come here?

[Private]

[mistconduct]

...I kind of got a taste of that reality in Silent Hill.

[Private]

[patheticvillain]

Yeah. Sorry.

I guess I was thinking when they were younger, like us. But maybe it wouldn't have made a difference.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Well..if they had changed their ways and shit, we might not be here. We might not have ever met.

[Private]

[patheticvillain]

It wouldn't be worth it, then.

. . . I still want her to be happy, is the thing. How fucked up is that? I don't even think she knows what happy is.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

It's not fucked up. It just means you're a better person than she is.

[Private]

[patheticvillain]

I - shit.

I'm.

I'm kind of freaking out, I don't feel like a better person.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Don't freak out, man. It's okay. It's not a big deal.

[Private]

[patheticvillain]

It is, though. It's a big deal.

Thanks. For, you know.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

You seriously didn't think you were better than her? After everything you told me?

[Private]

[patheticvillain]

No, it's not that. I know you think I'm better. It's just that I'd forget if you didn't - if it weren't for, whatever.

[mistconduct]

Who are you, Barron? You can't remember straight fucking facts?

[Private]

[patheticvillain]

Sometimes. Character flaw.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

...You miss him?

[Private]

[patheticvillain]

Kind of. I don't know. I'm worried about him going back to Mom.

But it's, I mean, it's up to him, it's his choice and everything. I just . . . maybe it's a bad one.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

So we let him go home, fuck up...and if we need to, we go rescue him later.

[Private]

[patheticvillain]

Wait, you -

But you hate Barron.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Yeah, but you don't.

And I don't, like, hate him. I'm just not a fan.

[Private]

[patheticvillain]

Oh.

Then.

We can go rescue him if he fucks up. Yeah. Okay.

You'd like my grandad, at least.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Yeah, man. I'm totally cool with that.

What's your grandad like?

Re: [Private]

[patheticvillain]

He's awesome. I mean, actually awesome, not - brainwashed awesome. He'd be proud of what I'm doing, I think.

He'd like you too. He's definitely get you drunk.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

I think he'd be proud, too. What's not to be proud of?

Fuck, I like him already.
