"Shit," said Cutter in a dismayed voice.
"That's the kind of world we're living in right now."
"And I'm supposed to just ignore it?"
"You're not even supposed to know. The point was to keep you out of it, not get you involved."
"Well, I'm involved now, aren't I? How am I supposed to face Connor? No, don't answer that." Cutter got up and began to pace about the room, not an easy thing to do given the small space remaining that wasn't crammed with his and Stephen's beds and possessions. He wanted to punch someone, but he didn't think thumping Stephen would help. He couldn't really blame Stephen for this, or Connor. Blaming his other self didn't exactly get them anywhere either. Much as he hated the idea, for the time being he was going to have to accept the situation as it was, and hope that a solution presented itself in the near future. The thought made him feel slightly sick.
"I'm sorry," Stephen said. "I know it can't be easy to deal with."
"Too bloody right!"
