It sounds a little convenient. [let's be real here tiffany]

[tucky]

Yeah. Sorry.

It wasn't exactly the same, 'cause for me it wasn't about defending other people. It was about feeling offended personally.

this is about the nurse isn't it

[deadcalm]

And you didn't do it, right? [She knows how lessons work, when someone else wants to teach.]

AMONG OTHER THINGS she was far too into murder as a solution to her problems

[tucky]

Nah, I did. Or I tried, anyway.

[Tiffany is terrible at teaching lessons (though she isn't actually trying to here).]

[deadcalm]

I always thought you were just trying to look crazy. [Her hand claps over her mouth too late to catch the thought.]

[tucky]

You mean back in prison? In, like, memories you saw?

[deadcalm]

[She nods, fingers still over her mouth.]

[tucky]

... I'm not mad, you know. It ain't your fault.

[deadcalm]

Still shouldn't have to hear it. But I didn't think you'd go that far.

[tucky]

Yeah, but it's okay; I don't mind.

What did you see?

[deadcalm]

You hurt yourself to scare somebody else. Things like that.

[tucky]

... Hurt myself? When did I do that?

[She's not remembering slicing into her palm at first - she's assuming Lua is talking about something bigger.]

[deadcalm]

You and your pals cornered somebody, and you cut yourself instead of her.

[tucky]

Oh, yeah; in the showers. I forgot I did the--

[She draws a line down her palm with her finger.]

I wasn't trying to look crazy. I was trying to be intimidating.

[deadcalm]

...sometimes I'm mixing up what I think about something I saw. Instead of what really did, what you thought.

I'm not confusing anything I saw with him.

[tucky]

I didn't think you were.

[deadcalm]

But you really did do something.

[tucky]

But you don't want to.

[deadcalm]

No. But not for a good reason. Caring about what you all think- against letting him down?

[tucky]

Would he say you were letting him down?

[deadcalm]

No, but he's never had a bad thing to say to me.

[tucky]

Would he think you were letting him down, even if he wouldn't say it?

[deadcalm]

No. But he didn't think he was going to die when somebody almost killed him right in front of me.

[tucky]

So it ain't so much about what he'd think of you, it's about what you'd think of yourself. Right?

[deadcalm]

It's about what he needs from me. To stay me.
