I didn't tell you because I didn't... want it to sound like I was just. I don't know, tattling? So I kept it to myself.
[Reaching out and asking for help is not one of Ashe's strong suits.]
Who says we're going to talk again anytime soon? You told me that friendship goes both ways, right? I can't force it on him. And he told me pretty distinctly he didn't want it. There's no real confusion about that.
He's supposed to be the smart one. Maybe he can be the tactician and figure it out if he wants something bad enough.
Please leave me alone right now, Bernadetta. I'm... having a really hard time controlling my emerald when it's like this. And I already hurt you, which is... bad enough.
