[skepticalities]

Why?

[onlyoneof]

I should have... I don't know. Given it more thought?

[skepticalities]

You're fine.

[onlyoneof]

No, we're obviously having a communication failure.

[skepticalities]

This is getting uncomfortable.

[pauses, then looks severely annoyed at that.]

[onlyoneof]

[flops back]

What?

[skepticalities]

Mnn.

[onlyoneof]

Just say it, it's not like this is gonne get any worse.

[skepticalities]

I don't really want to talk about it.

[onlyoneof]

That's part of what got us here to begin with.

[skepticalities]

That's how I am, Peter.

[onlyoneof]

Just--

[cuts himself out and heads to the bathroom]

[skepticalities]

[clenches his fists, looking down in frustration.]

[onlyoneof]

[why don't I have a robot to work on 8(]

[skepticalities]

[why does everything I say suck.]

[onlyoneof]

[washes his face and comes back]

[skepticalities]

[sits there quietly, looking pretty miserable.]

[onlyoneof]

I want you to talk to me, but you don't. So I can just... go to the workshop and keep myself busy until this wears off.

[skepticalities]

I'm not okay with that but I won't stop you.

[onlyoneof]

What do you want?

[skepticalities]

I don't want you to leave. But I know that's selfish given everything.

[onlyoneof]

What do you want, Lincoln? Do you want me to stay here and keep saying everything that comes to my mind while you sit there quietly because "that's how you are"?

Because we can do that, I have a lot of words.

[skepticalities]

You know what? Do whatever you want.

[onlyoneof]

I want you to talk to me.

[skepticalities]

. . .

[opens his mouth and then closes it, sinking in to where he's sitting.]

I'm sorry.
