[She lifts her head to look at him.]

You're wrong, okay? I take it really seriously.

[recinerate]

But not seriously enough to exercise more caution.

[tucky]

I don't know why you think I'm not doing that.

[recinerate]

You said you don't regret giving the inmate who killed you the benefit of the doubt.

[tucky]

Yeah, I guess I did say that. And I... I don't know her real well. But people who do know her, and people who know people like her - they're saying I probably insulted her by accident when I showed up all by myself. So I regret that. I regret thinking what worked for one person would work for somebody else.

[recinerate]

People who know her ... like the other wardens she's attacked, perhaps?

[tucky]

I don't know. In one of the cases, maybe; not in the other.

But I do know she's got people she likes. I think one of them should be her warden. You can't be a team with someone you wanna kill.

[recinerate]

There are people here who are quite concerned about your welfare, Tiffany.

[tucky]

There are people who think I'm a bad person now.

[recinerate]

Because you were killed by your inmate?

[tucky]

Because they think I fuck everything up.

[recinerate]

"Everything" is a broad category, Tiffany. Too broad for any one person.

[tucky]

I don't think I fuck everything up. But I know I don't do everything right, neither.

[recinerate]

Again, it's impossible for any one person to be perfect at all things, Tiffany.

[he slowly shifts on the bench out of his weird perch, sitting down in a mostly normal fashion. he does keep one foot flat on the surface of the bench, knee drawn up to his chest.]

Have you heard it said that "anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new"?

[tucky]

No, but it makes sense.

[recinerate]

It's usually attributed to Albert Einstein. You know who he is?

[tucky]

[She snorts.]

'Course I do; I'm not stupid.

I'll tell you what I regret the most, though; I regret Lourdes finding my body.

[recinerate]

She cares for you.

[he turns his head to the side, so he's still looking at tiffany, and lays his head down on his knee.]

Very much.

[tucky]

I know. I care for her very much, too. I love her.

[recinerate]

You do?

[it's odd, to him, how easily she says this, that she loves lourdes.]

How do you know?

[tucky]

I feel it in my heart. Ain't that always how you know you love somebody?

[recinerate]

I wouldn't know.

[feelings are illogical, remember? beyond has spent a good portion of his life learning to ignore his feelings.]

[tucky]

You never loved anybody?

[recinerate]

My mother, perhaps. [he picks his head up off his knee, turns his attention to fiddling with the hem of his jeans.] She died. I was very young.

[tucky]

I'm sorry.

I hope you can find more people to love.
