[Jack is looking awkwardly into the camera--not that this is unusual--with a faint air of shame. This is a slightly embarrassing situation.]

[kindly_done]

I know, but...

I'm still lonely.

[kindly_done]

Yeah, I know.

I just wish...you know. Someone liked me that way.

oh whoops you were online SORRY.

[paper_knight]

Oh.

[The last thing he wanted to talk about, whoops.]

Do you have someone you like?

[kindly_done]

Not really.

Um. Remember...do you remember when Johnny's daughter was here?

[paper_knight]

I'm afraid not. I've never met her.

[kindly_done]

Well, she seemed like...

We never really talked. She didn't stay long. But I think I could have liked her.

And there's only one person I've ever hated enough for the other one.

[paper_knight]

The other what?

[kindly_done]

The one where you hate someone.

[paper_knight]

[Oh.]

That's. That's not a normal feeling. That's the event.

[kindly_done]

I know.

[He glowers.]

It's making me miss him. I hate this.

[paper_knight]

Do you want to tell me about him? Bleed it off?

[kindly_done]

I don't even know that much about him.

[paper_knight]

Then why hate him?

[kindly_done]

I'm a freak because of him! I don't know about him, but I know what he did to me, and to all those little girls, and--and even to the splicers.
