What happened? What could bring you to such a... such a...

Why did you not seek another avenue? Why did you not seek help?

There must have been another way.

I couldn't see another way. I'm sorry.

Why did you not speak to someone? Surely you understood the strife caused by such an action- surely you knew you wouldn't find a permanent path?

Why did you do it?

I couldn't speak to anyone about it. They wouldn't have understood and they would have wanted to talk me out of it.

I didn't mean to upset anyone.

You've still not told me why.

I don't know if I can explain it.

Please try. Give me a reason to maintain my faith in you.

....

I've been thinking a lot lately about one of the... people that I killed. 909. He was my lover back home. And I... I've been missing him so much these last few weeks. Then we got to that port.. and I met two men there - they're on the Barge. And things happened... but when we got back they've been treating me differently. Colder. And it made me think more about 909 again and what I did to him... Horrible... And I decided that I didn't want to be alive, even if just for a short time. And I wanted to feel something of how he had felt when I... stabbed him.

I know it doesn't make a lot of sense now. But I felt I had to do it.

Why would you wish to be dead? Many people have acted differently since that port; when one is made to act under an outside influence, one feels violated and uneasy. I'd wager their actions had little or nothing to do with shunning you.

I just didn't want to have to think any more.

And they both said that they were under no spells at the port.

... [refrains from the obvious retort.]

Might I ask who they were?

What good would that do?
