[Guess who's actually doing a network post on his own free will, for once? That's right. This kid. But ever since he'd come back from his kidnapping, he'd been feeling a little bit...off. It wasn't something he could really place, though. Not yet.

He needed a distraction. One that isn't trying to pick a physical fight with people because that never seemed to end well here. If he's already not feeling on the top of his game it's going to end even worse than usual.]

What's the point of friendships?

[There's a bit of a pause, before he tacks on:]

Don't give me that warm and fuzzy stuff, either. I don't want to hear it.

[Well, that was short and sweet enough. He's just. Going to end it here.]

I don't imagine that I will. Of course, catching someone while on guard is a much more amusing challenge.

Are you done playing around?

[Voice]

[yourfononsarewhack]

Who says that I'm playing around? [The answer is that only Jade does, and he doesn't feel like spelling out either way.]

Of course, we're also overlooking the most basic root of a need for friendship.

[Even though Jade can't see it, Sync's rolling his eyes a lot over here.]

You don't need friendship. You want friendship. There's a difference.

[Voice]

[yourfononsarewhack]

That's true. And with the same token, I suppose that one neither needs nor wants the feeling of loneliness that comes from an absence of having such people around.

[Voice]

[trashed]

It's easier.

[Not having to deal with people, or feelings, or whatever. And he thinks he's so far gone, being dead, that it's not even worth it.]
