Yeah. We weren't friends though, so it's. [ shrugs. ]

A shame the others can't be more like you. People are so tense.

[Be more like me, he says, a guy who's only mad about having to waste so many hours in trial.]

I mean, if they like him it's fair to be upset, I guess. But it's not like we didn't know this was going to happen to someone. And it sounds like it should be easier to get through this than last time, so it should only be temporary anyway.

[ hell, this time they already know he's going to be hanging around with the gy npcs somewhere. the stakes don't feel that high to him. ]

It's annoying, given the rest.

[THE STAKES AREN'T HIGH!!!! In his opinion too, at least. He just thinks people should save their silly fragile emotions for other, better things that don't involve feeling tense or unhappy about a guy who might just be flying off to Hawaii right now.]

But unsurprising. People are similar everywhere you go. I'd hope they'll be less annoying by tomorrow, but changes are, it'll be even worse.
