So. What do you do when you want to talk to a shrink. But the one best likely to deal with you is you. And the attitude of any others makes you want to make the shrink quit their job and vanish and show up three towns away.

Look, alright, I guess I never said this, but... I apologize for all that shit I said, back when we were fighting and you were all hopped up on Dark Mist. [ He pulls out another cider, twisting the lid off. ]

You're, look. I wouldn't have called either of you fake. You both mean different things to me, and I guess I should have just shut up and called you Noriko once or twice proper. Maybe then it wouldn't have felt as bad. Maybe. I dunno. [ He sips. ]

I don't know where I'm going with this. I'm trying for an 'I'm sorry' that doesn't sound like it was pulled out of my ass. It's not easy when the thing you have that's easiest to fall back on is anger.

[ The grocery bag hits the pavement, as Onni rolls back with the punch, clutching at his face with his now-free hand. ]

...No. I did that enough. I'm. Trying to be someone who can wield their anger more than it wields them.

Son of a bitch, that hurts...

I'm tired of being the guy who runs on anger! You of all people should understand how fucking exhausting that is!

[ He's rubbing at his broken nose, gritting his teeth as he tries to adjust it slightly. ]

...Why do you wanna see me act like even more of an awful person than I already am, anyway? Isn't it enough I'm trying to make myself a different person from that shit?

Why?

Anger's got energy to it but the crash kills me. I can't stay mad twenty-four seven, I just don't have the power.

Why does people acting sleazy like that make you happy? Like... what is it about that.

My rage burns too damn hot to keep me going. It all explodes out and I get so damn mad, but once I'm done I just collapse, moodwise. It fucking sucks.

...I could offer some theories but I'm not a fuckin' head doctor. I won't say anything if you don't wanna hear 'em.

Well then I'm glad it's shit. It used to be awful and all-emcompassing and I don't wanna go back to that me. He sucks and I'd fucking dump him in a trash can.

Alright, two theories, kind of general, broad strokes, maybe they do, maybe they don't.

But either, A, you're so cynical that you need to tear people down and make them nasty in that sort of 'idealism is for chumps' way. Or, B, you want to know people are as nasty as you are deep down, so you poke and prod and try to find them to feel better about yourself.

...Also, stop lookin' at me like that, you hate me from the past as much as I do, probably more.

Like I said, broad stroke theories as to why you might get satisfaction out of it. I told you I wasn't any good at this shit.

[ OW JESUS. Well. At least it's fixed. Rubs at it. ]

...Alright, I guess that's fair, as one 'artist' to another.

See ya around, Noriko. I should probably get home before Shiroko wonders if I got distracted saving a bus full of puppies or something.

I mean, like. If I see them. Usually have to take them to shelters afterwards.

...I really like pets, okay.
