[It's...not okay.

Not really. No.]

Why not?

[save_theworld]

[They've been over this sort of thing before, haven't they?]

You'll just get mad again.

[skelebro]

Nah. Not this time.

I'm too tired for that.

[Har har]

[save_theworld]

...Dunno.

[Yes they do.]

Um. A lot of stuff. I want to be- I want um-

I wish I could be the person people think I am.

[skelebro]

Who's it people think you are? Why're you...why d'you wanna be that?

[save_theworld]

I don't know. Someone better.

[Who knows how to not kill or be killed, who can walk through the Underground without hurting a single person; watch a sunset with all of them, too. That kind of person.

An Angel.]

Then everyone would be happy.

[skelebro]

If people ain't happy...y'know it ain't always on you. Right?

[save_theworld]

...Not always.

[But enough of the time.]

[skelebro]

Kid. Listen, I...

[That honesty thing?

Looks like that goes both ways.]

I wish I'd done better. Before. You deserve better than to be - talked down by some guy who makes you feel like it's all your responsibility.

[save_theworld]

You were right, though.

[That's the thing. He's always apologizing for it, but he was right.]

I should've done better. Not just...when I felt like it.

It's too late now.

[skelebro]

Nobody told you how any of it worked, kid. It weren't...you never got a manual, nothin' like that.

Weren't fair to put that all on you.

[save_theworld]

Wasn't someone else's fault.

[Can't blame anyone else for what happened. No one else knew. If you have the power to do something, shouldn't you take responsibility?]

...Knew I wasn't doing the right thing. Did it anyway. That's my fault.

[skelebro]

Yeah, but did anybody tell you what the right thing was? Or were we all just...expectin' you to be perfect, right outta the gate?
