Lapsed anarchist is in the Inn, reading a book.

He only looks innocent.

Really.

Junkie artist is downstairs, curled up in a big smooshy chair and staring at the fire.

She's feeling somewhat better. Physically, at least.

"Maybe you think you can fix me. I don't know."

"I know perfectly well that I can't fix someone." God knows that had been a hard lesson for him and Mark to learn.

She shrugs and rests her chin on her knees.

She's not going to keep going. Even if she knows it's true, she knows he'll get cranky if she doesn't shut up.

"April, girl, I love you like my own sister," he says, quiet but with steel in his voice, "and because I love you, I am not going to listen to your pity-party anymore. Yeah, you fucked up. You got AIDS. You killed yourself. You slept with someone to get smack. Big. Fucking. Deal. How long are you gonna keep proving your old man right so you have an excuse to feel like shit?"

April curls up a little tighter and clenches her jaw. "Shut up."

Eyeroll. "When've you ever known me to do that?"

"Just shut up and leave me alone."

"Whether I'm here, or whether I'm gone, doesn't change the truth of what I've said." Harsh, yes. Unkind, a bit.

Needed? Oh yeah.

She's shaking a bit. Maybe she's just trembling, maybe she's crying. "I don't... I want to believe it. I do. I just... I can't. I can't."

"You won't."

"I'm fucking trying!" She's almost angry. "You know how fucking hard it is to change your view of yourself? I'm trying."

He just looks at her.

Not saying a single word.

"I'm trying, Tom," she says, rather pitifully.

She honestly can't find anything worthwhile about herself. That's hard.

"Constantly feelin' sorry for yourself isn't a good way to try," he says softly.

"I don't... I don't know how to stop," she whispers. "I mean... I figure it's probably focusing on the good things, but I can't think of anything good."
