I tried that, you know.

Got into a lot of fights. It just made him cling harder. If you really want to disappear, stop getting involved in shit.

I already don't go to my so-called job. How less involved do I need to be?

Stop protecting the weak and defenseless.

I don't do that in the first place.

[ you are literally teaching a man how to fight. ]

Yes you do.

No I don't, [ he grumbles. ] Teaching someone to fight isn't protecting the weak. It's making sure that everyone here is worth my time.

Byyy making the weak stronger and more able to protect themselves.

If you're going to continue bothering me with such nonsense, I'll break your ribs again.

I let you break my ribs.

You didn't let me do anything. I won, fair and square.

Please. I just didn't want to kill you.

Your mistake.

I like you, you idiot!

Again, your mistake.

[ There's a pause before, ]

I wouldn't consider myself the sort of person who deserves to be liked.

A year ago, I would have said the same thing.

I think it's best to just say "thank you, you're an idiot." Brokers less argument.

In that case thank you, you're an idiot.

You're welcome, you idiot.
