I was the main contributor.

[skepticalities]

It's because I care about you.

[onlyoneof]

Thank you.

[skepticalities]

. . . mm.

[onlyoneof]

[sighs]

[skepticalities]

I'm sorry.

[onlyoneof]

[skepticalities]

[breathing. and then, speaking.]

. . . just the thought of . . . all of this. I'm good at pushing it down, at— compartmentalizing it, but sometimes, I can't.

[onlyoneof]

I know, but we're okay.

[skepticalities]

Are we?

[god, I suck]

[skepticalities]

I'm not— what did you think I was . . .

Don't answer that.

[onlyoneof]

No, no. I thought it was because... well, because my life is this string of terrible things happening. I just... forgot my well-being factored in.

[skepticalities]

. . . I want you to be safe, stupid.

[onlyoneof]

I know. I'm sorry.
