[Prefect wouldn't just by random coincidence ask for Sam over the journals, so I'm going to say that he was going to see Sam to ask him for something completely irrelevant and found the room empty. No crossing out in the writing because he did it all in his head first, and no, he's not mentioning that this was brought on by Sam leaving

Private - He thinks you're still ignoring him

[gray_atonement]

I told you I would be there for you.

You only withdraw into the Factory when you're upset, alone. When you want the world to forget that you feel because you hope that maybe you'll forget too. It's kind of sad..

I liked you better when you cared.

[buywithme]

You came back?

2/2 - Private

[buywithme]

Comrade, I'm not withdrawing into the Factory, I'm blossoming. Reasserting. Balancing.

All these months I've not really been here at all, just some echo of me at my worst. Comrade, through proceedure are we released, do we breath and understand and live again. Through obedience are we awakened and I am awake again for the first time in months.

I'm indebted to you, brother.

Private

[gray_atonement]

Don't.. call me that.

Private

[buywithme]

What, Brother? As you wish Comrade, Gabriel, Sylar, it doesn't matter to me, whatever designation has been assigned to you or you have chosen is the one that I'll use, whatever you want to be, whatever you want to own, time is history is the weight around your neck and it's dead, whatever you were christened, whatever you were nicknamed, it's all irrelevant, we're living in the future and your title is whatever you want it to be.

Private

[gray_atonement]

That's too bad. I'd hoped you might have changed in the time I was gone. I hoped you would have mi

First you ignore me, then this.. A waste of time, of space. Of life. Enjoy the Factory. Forget what I said before.

Private

[buywithme]

Believe me, I have changed, Comrade. Complete transformation. A waste of life. Look around, Comrade, what kind of life am I wasting here?

This place is no time, no space, no life. You forgot that, because you got to leave.

Private - BITTER

[gray_atonement]

Yeah. All it took was trying to kill myself.

It's no excuse. Less, even. When there's nothing else, all we have is strength or power and connections. The things you sell are important, yes, but they're not--

I'm not going to argue with you anymore. You've moved on to Dent. I just hope that I can move on from our friendship as quickly and easily as you have.

2/2 Private - Have some broken Prefect spiel.

[buywithme]

You told me not to speak to you again Comrade. You left. You-- You chose this, not me.

You tried to kill yourself, and you got to go home, and you're telling me I moved on well Comrade let me tell you something the only things in me that I needed tearing down when you offered to help me were built by Harvey Dent so rest assured he could never do for me what you did for me and he is not something I moved on to he's something I left behind thanks to you.

Just not far enough behind for him to stop being there.

1/2 Private - ;_; Why must they make each other cryyyy

[gray_atonement]

Because I hated you for rejecting me. I'm different now.

Don't blame me for your failures, successes. Everything you've done-- everything has been you. Your own fault. Your own accomplishments.

I got news for you, Prefect. There is no escape, no running away. You can choose to give it to pain and let it take you, blame everyone else, seclude yourself. Or you can try to make amends and move on.

If you want this.. Harvey, to ignore me, to mourn Sam.. fine. Then stop replying and stay out of my way.

2/2 Private

[gray_atonement]

I tried t I tried to fix things before I left. Tried to talk to you. Hard to do much alone in Level 0. I thought you would have cared-- You'd already moved on.

Don't blame me. You made the choice not to speak to me.

I guess I should apologize that I had any sense of hope when I returned. I should have known better. People like you.. they don't ever love, not really. I was foolish to think otherwise.

[buywithme]

You hated me.

Well that would explain an awful lot, Brother. just wish you'd mentioned it when I was trying to work out what the hell you wanted from me.

Comrade, Lecture me on this place all you want. You dip in and out and I've still been here for twice as long as you have and thank you, comrade but you are talking to a man who is quite aware that he's not going home any time soon.

I lost the choice to speak to you when you left, Brother, and who could blame you? After all, you clearly have a crystaline understanding of the Factory and all it's workings and exactly what kind of a person you think I am. Well you could have got the same answer from anyone here, Comrade, I'm barely a person at all. Cut me and I'd bleed commerce.

You-- No one ever left you alone in level zero, you only are when you declare yourself to be it.

2/3 Private

[gray_atonement]

You left me.

3/5 Private - I lied.

[gray_atonement]

When Bennet killed me and locked me in level 0? I was alone, tormented. I thought I might die without y anyone.
