I'm supposed to say something along the lines of might as well get used to it, right? But what am I really trying for now? It won't stop. I don't want to do anything. There's one thing I want to do and that's out of reach.

Leave me alone.

... Kadaj?

[adventlead]

No.

[prodigal_axe]

... [He just never knows what to say ever.]

Not gonna ask pointless questions, but you've at least got someone nearby you, right?

[adventlead]

[Sorry, he's in a brooding mood.]

For how long.

[prodigal_axe]

[Of course he would be, considering.]

... That's. [And suddenly he sounds really tired.] I guess that's the risk.

[adventlead]

I don't...

[A pause when he hears that.] I don't really know anymore.

[prodigal_axe]

Not sure I do either...

[adventlead]

Hate it.

[prodigal_axe]

Can't disagree with you... [He's starting to wonder who of Kadaj's left.]

You think it's a mistake? That risk?

[adventlead]

I don't know. Maybe they would still be here if I hadn't.

[prodigal_axe]

... It's not your fault.

[adventlead]

Yes it is. Don't lie.

[prodigal_axe]

It's not a lie. Even if you feel that way... [And he has too, very strongly and recently.] Just think about it. People leave whenever they leave... It's not up to us when it happens.

[adventlead]

Yes it is. It's up to me. It's my fault. I should have ignored them all. They would still be here.

[prodigal_axe]

They'd probably still be gone, but... I'm not sure I disagree with that other part. Either way, there wasn't a damn thing you could do about it.

[adventlead]

I should have left them alone.
