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.

[tucky]

And what does that mean to y'all?

[deadcalm]

We make sure we're both safe.

[tucky]

Well... when the guy hurt him, you weren't here. And he ain't here right now. So I don't think you failed at keeping him safe, and if you don't want to go after somebody, that ain't failing either.

[deadcalm]

I don't know if I was. I've been here before.

[tucky]

That was probably you from an alternate universe.

[deadcalm]

Maybe it was. But he'd have said something to me if I'd gotten back at him.

[tucky]

But, I mean... you ain't obligated to worry about what she did. Unless you really want to, I guess, but it sounds like you're just making yourself feel guilty.

[deadcalm]

Maybe I am. But it keeps happening. It almost did once that I saw.

[tucky]

You wanna tell me about that?
