Listen, I know I fucked up. I would understand if you were angry, or didn't want to speak to me ever again. But it sounds like this isn't your decision.

Does he let you make ultimatums about who he's allowed to talk to?

I … can’t think of anyone I’d go that far with.

[ He loathed Danny for what he did to Quentin but as far as he knew even Quentin hadn’t made any kind of line in the sand about choosing between the two of them to anyone. ]

But would you? If someone you really hated showed up?

The people I hate the most are dead. Except for one.

[ Except for Shota.

So, he pictures it. Shota and that fake, empty smile he put on in front of peers and teachers. Flashing it for the people in town. Charming everyone he thought would benefit him.

What was mostly sadness gives way to a spike of anger. ]

… I don’t really want to think about that. Please. You’re not like him.

I'm just saying, you shouldn't do anything for anyone that they wouldn't do for you, if the tables were turned.

I’m fairly confident Murphy would want to beat the piss out of my high school bully if he showed up, John, it’s not a great comparison.

[ A sigh. Frustrated. But not at him. ]

Maybe he just needs some time to cool off. We’re all too connected to each other for this kind of thing to possibly work long term.

It doesn't bother me either way. The great thing about being immortal is you outlive everyone who has a problem with you. In, what, a century? This won't matter.
