The coffee in this city seemingly induces more headaches than necessary. I would suggest foregoing it if you can

You seem a lot more into social nightlife than Jasper.

[bellatramonto]

Well, if I did that, I might as well be a journalist.

I just ... like crossing boundaries, I guess.

[premuroso]

Crossing boundaries in this town will get you killed.

[bellatramonto]

Thanks for the warning. I'm not dead yet.

[premuroso]

And how close did you come?

[bellatramonto]

I'm not afraid of dying.

[premuroso]

That's naive. What would your loved ones do if you died?

[bellatramonto]

Pick up religion?

It's not naive. It's just me. I'm not suicidal or anything, but I'm going to live my life.

[premuroso]

I don't think you understand what it means to lose someone. It isn't a light matter.

Living your life is a bit hard to do when you're dead, Bella.

[bellatramonto]

I'm saying that I have to live my life. If I want to go out at night with my friends, I'm going to do so.

Anyone could just as easily die in a car accident, but you'll seldom find someone who won't drive because of it.

[premuroso]

But going out with a group of friends and intentionally seeking danger as an individual is hardly the same thing.

A car accident is simply that. An accident. Predators in the night hardly qualify on the same spectrum.

[bellatramonto]

I'm not seeking predators. It is considered an accident.

I drive = I go out at night.

I get hit by another car = I get found by a predator.

I get killed = I get killed.

[premuroso]

You did not go searching out Jasper?

An accident and a situation wherein the predator could have been avoided are not the same things.

[bellatramonto]

How did you ....

He told you about that?

[premuroso]

We're old friends.

[bellatramonto]

Well, he probably just made it sound like I was looking for him. I was actually trying to find a book I'd dropped when he attacked me that Sunday.
