Oh fuck, no. No.
[And all at once, she pulls herself together, because she has to. Self-pity and fear need to be on hold for right now.]
That's not what I meant. Shit, Lourdes, I'm sorry; that ain't it at all. I just… I had a big fight with one of my really close friends just now. We might not be friends anymore, and I’m sad and mad and feeling sorry for myself and so I said it wrong, okay? I’m not going anywhere, I promise. I just worry so much about making your life worse. I worry about making everybody’s lives worse, ‘cause I do sometimes. I made his worse.
[She blinks back tears of her own at that, then barrels on, reaching out to touch Lourdes's shoulder.]
