How am I supposed to fix it?

[2804]

I'm sure you can figure it out.

[beatsfor]

If you want something, say it.

[2804]

Didn't I just do that?

( no, she had not. )

[beatsfor]

Nope, you left that part out.

[2804]

Whoops.

Silly me. Guess I thought you'd take some initiative.

[beatsfor]

Yeah, I think you already know I can't do what you would consider fixing it, and that's why you're not saying it.

[2804]

( again, there's a long silence. a few days this time while she stews. )

Then, it won't ever be fixed.

[beatsfor]

Unless you think of something other than an undo that would do so.

[2804]

Then, I suppose there's nothing.

[beatsfor]

You'd be reunited with him if you died.

[2804]

You encouraging me to off myself?

[beatsfor]

No, didn't say you should. Just pointing out that there is ONE thing.

[2804]

I'm not ready to die.

[beatsfor]

Options exhausted, then.

[2804]

Guess I'll just continue hating you then.

[beatsfor]

That conclusion was inevitable, regardless.

[2804]

Is this something you don't mind or have you just gotten used to it?

[beatsfor]

Neither.

I should claim I don't mind, though.

[2804]

But you do mind.

( claim or not, she knows better. )

[beatsfor]

Your ego is going to have to live without me confirming it twice.

[2804]

Are you upset right now?

( before rio can reply, she tacks on: )

I'm asking honestly. Don't be flippant.

[beatsfor]

[Smart addition, she absolutely would have been flippant.]

Well, it's not exactly a happy cotton candy type of subject.

[2804]

It's not.

But have we ever discussed happy cotton candy type subjects?

[beatsfor]

Been hundreds of years, we must have at least once.

[Does she remember it? Not really.]
