I hope you like it here. For as long as you're here.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It’s been comfortable, at the very least. And you lot, in the many varieties you come in, are only annoying at worst. Not infuriating like back home.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I'd hope not. Was hope a bad place?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Not an ideal place to live. Really, if I remove my bias, it’s not bad if you’re not me.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Why is it bad specifically for you?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I was hated by everyone else for being treated as a favorite by our dad. As despised as you can get. Then he turned on me too, inexplicably, so it’s just one massive family of brothers and sisters and such that hate you with a burning passion that you spend all your time around. I wouldn’t recommend growing up like that.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I'd like to avoid it. I'm sorry for your trouble.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Don’t do that, why’s that everyone’s first reaction? It is what it is. I’m out of the cesspool now, and that’s all that matters.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

It's a demonstration of sympathy. Most people do it.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

That’s a recurring theme with you, it seems. The things most people do. Receiving pity feels awful, so that won’t be necessary with me in the future.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I'm one of most people, anyway.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Sure, I suppose you’ve got me there.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

If there's something you don't want me to say, you're going to have to ask.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I just hate pity. Makes me feel low. Otherwise I’m fine as long as you’re not blatantly trying to tick me off. Which you aren’t, and I respect that.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Anything else?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Nope. But if something does come up, I’ll let you know. Count on that.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

So are you going attack your home?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

No. No, I’m not.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Not particularly. Only one or two are necessary, and they’re the scummiest of scum.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Would be true if I literally never experienced anything other people got their rushes from.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

And thus, the circle is compelted.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Because you haven't been conditioned to.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

What are you going to do, then?
