We should probably...I don't know, talk at some point.

Um. My name is Ned. I'm your.

Warden.


Could I please come over.

I think there's always something. I keep hearing everyone's sent here to be made better.

[deadly_ned]

That's a terrible blanket statement for a place to have. It makes you think of rehab centers where heroin-addicted drop-outs go to detox.

Most of the people here are dead. It isn't being 'made better', it's being given a second chance at being alive again. It's figuring out who you are and who you want to be.

Who...you want to be. Not anyone else.

[meanstwin]

I already am me.

I just don't like it.

[deadly_ned]

Then...

Who would you want to be instead, if you didn't have to be you?

[meanstwin]

I don't know if I can tell you.

[deadly_ned]

That's...fair. You don't have to, I don't...



I don't want to press.


I think I should probably ask now if there's anything you need, or anything we can do to make the room more like home again?

It's sort of.

Dreary.
