oh hey, so I haven't vomited my feelngs about Bolger in a while...
"What happened?" River coaxes, seeing his face deaden and shut down.
"What happens to anybody?" Mark returns, toneless, because he's had six years, a couple books, and a movie to figure this part out. "Our wires crossed. We miscommunicated our intentions, and in the end, he had this textbook idea of how a business should progress and I didn't want to stick to it, so I froze him out of Facebook."
"Ahhhh," she drags it out slowly, with a dawning kind of realization.
"Yes, yes," he snaps at her with impatience, rounding his shoulders like he could block that look out: he hates that look, because it's boring, how predictable it is. "Now you know. Mark Zuckerberg, revolutionary and the youngest billionaire in the world, got where he is today because he stabbed his best friend in the back. Are you happy? Does that --"
"I killed the man I loved," River broke in.
Mark's jaw clicks shut with an audible noise.
She looks at him, unwavering; she's sitting so close her eyes appear abnormally large in her head, wide and grey and serious, and he believes her, just like that. "I didn't want to do it. It was the last thing I wanted to do, but I had to do it. We have to do it. You don't betray people because you like it, or because you're an asshole, you do it because it's necessary and no one else will. That is your choice, and you live with it and its consequences until the day the suns die."

OH LOOK, A FANFIC FOR THE SOCIAL NETWORK (technically it's a TSN/Doctor Who crossover but whatever) THAT MAKES ME FEEL ALL THE FEELINGS ABOUT BOLGER. WHAT A SURPRISE I NEVER SAW THIS COMING. I mean it's not like my neverending feelings about Pearson and Bolger are the entire reason I even watched that stupid movie or anything. 8|
It just makes me want to run around vomiting incoherent babble everywhere. And yea, at a glance Bolger is supposed to be considered in the wrong forever and ever to the point of the writers even trying to force it with a line that just doesn't make sense when set along with everything else. But in the end he did what he thought he had to do, for better or worse, and bluh, bluh, ALL THE FEELINGS IN THE WORLD. Bolger is still my spirit animal. Etcetera.
Also this line:
"You do what is necessary, not because you want to hurt the ones you care about, but because there's nothing else you can do. Someone has to be darkly ruthless, so that someone else doesn't have to be."
FEELINGS. ALL THE FEELINGS ABOUT BOLGER. Okay, I'll stop.
