Well, she said I'm special... So maybe it's normal for me? Maybe where you're from it's not, but for me it is.

[ why........does she feel the need to defend it. ]

Maybe I was a really difficult kid. Or...I don't know. This is confusing. What I remember feeling doesn't match with what I feel.
mind_blown: (Makes it that much more marvelous.)

[he stares at her.]

... Nah.

You wouldn't know how t' be difficult if your life depended on it.
dumbjockenergy: questioning, frustrated (180)

I could be difficult if I wanted to!

Spoken like someone who doesn't know what 'difficult' looks like for a personality.

Intensity? He's difficult. Me? I'm difficult.

You might not be Angel, but you're on her end of the difficult personality scale.

Then I'll just have to be more difficult.

That isn't a goal I'd recommend to anyone honestly. Should focus on unlearning what you can.

Before the whole "bitter, jaded asshole" thing sets in.

Or worse, you end up perpetuating it.

But how do I unlearn what I don't remember?

[ and that's the crux of the issue.

with a frustrated groan, she slumps over the counter. ]

How do I...contextualize what I know or-- or feel might be normal against what might be the actual way things should be? The memory was...a lot and the feelings are a lot too, but it didn't feel out of place or unearned or anything like that.
mind_blown: (I try to make it through my life.)

Here's lesson one: second best's fine. And if you wanna make beating someone a point, that's your prerogative.

Lesson two: no one gets to tell you what your purpose is. Only you get to decide that.

[he shrugs.]

We'll figure out the rest later. But sounds like that woman deserved a swift death sentence anyway.

...You don't think that was a horrible thing for me to do?

Nope. She deserved it.
