This place is...

I can't...

Don't do anything stupid. Or rash, in the pursuit of the truth here. Please. It's not worth it.

[Text to Costigan]

Are we going to continue to ignore each other?

[Sent after a second]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have believed it.

[Text to Sue]I'm going to take a break to sleep. To...do something. I don't want to be by

It's fine. I just need to know what you took.

[Mumbled after a brief pause:]

Be careful.

Re: Private

[balancedlight]

I wrote it down.

Careful with what?

Re: Private

[drdaytimetelly]

The pills. I know I don't need to say this, especially not to you, but take care not to become reliant on them.

Re: Private

[balancedlight]

John, don't worry.

If there was a danger of that, I'd try sneaking them.

Re: Private

[drdaytimetelly]

...probably not the most reassuring thing to hear.

Re: Private

[balancedlight]

Sorry.

How are you, by the way? We haven't talked since...in a while.

Re: Private

[drdaytimetelly]

Since...yes. All of that.

Good. [He coughs a bit.] Yeah, real good, I guess. All things considered.

Re: Private

[balancedlight]

That good, hm?

I'm sorry, John. I really am.

Re: Private

[drdaytimetelly]

Sorry? Svetlana....look, it's all right, really. Things'll get better between us, I just need.....well, I'd say time, but what I'd really need is some reassurance that everything isn't completely fucked, which isn't likely to happen any time soon, but one can hope.

And that wasn't really focused all towards you, I hope you know. I'm just sort of rambling at you now.

Re: Private

[balancedlight]

No. That's...not what I was apologizing for.

I meant about worrying you.

But...um...that's still good to know.

Re: Private

[drdaytimetelly]

Oh.

Right. Um.

Don't? I mean....it's fine. I worry about a lot of people.

Re: Private

[balancedlight]

Yes. That's...something we have in common.

Re: Private

[drdaytimetelly]

Somebody has to.
