I'm, um.

I'm leaving.

Thomas - my inmate - he's...graduated, he's left the Barge, so I think that's...probably my cue to leave too.

I'm...terrible at goodbyes, and let's be completely honest, I'm quiet enough that most of the Barge doesn't know I'm actually here, so I doubt I need to stay very long.

That sounds terrible.

I'm sorry. Something's come up. I have to go.

And now it doesn't matter what you know.

Good luck graduating, you....bad, bad person.

From:

Sorry. I like the phrase. Pie in the sky.

And I don't like talking in public to strangers. So that's...settled.

From:

mattersverymuch

I suppose it is.

You're wrong, for the record, but there's just no telling some people.

From:

Wrong to become emotionally involved?

From:

mattersverymuch

Obviously.

From:

I'd disagree.

From:

mattersverymuch

You've made that obvious, too.

From:

I thought I was a very cynical person and it's only recently I'm beginning to realize I don't have anything on you.

From:

mattersverymuch

No one does. I'm the very best at cynicism, just as I'm the very best as a great many other things.

From:

Are you the best at keeping other people's secrets?

From:

mattersverymuch

I can be, when it serves a purpose.

[Everything must serve a purpose.]

From:

Are you ever altruistic for the purposes of doing a good deed?

From:

mattersverymuch

No.

I imagine that's why I'm here.

From:

So....maybe by being kinder to me and not revealing my secret if I ever decided to come back....you could graduate.

From:

mattersverymuch

I doubt that that would be enough. Besides, for me, this is quite kind.

From:

Tormenting me with your shark smile is kind?

From:

mattersverymuch

I haven't made you do anything you don't want to do. Other than tell me the rules. I haven't made you kill anyone, for example.

From:

And you never will.

From:

mattersverymuch

No. No, I don't think I will.

From:

Good. We're in agreement. No killing.

From:

mattersverymuch

You know, you're very interesting, for such a highly moral person.

From:

I have semi decent morals that come from a lifetime of hypocrisy. I can say 'don't murder' even after I've killed several hundred people.

From:

mattersverymuch

You feel regret. Generally, that leads a person to be boring and uninspirational.

Not in this case, however.

From:

I am boring and uninspired. You only like seeing me in pain. That is literally the only interesting thing about me.

From:

mattersverymuch

Wrong. I like seeing you act as clever as you are. Occasionally, pain engenders cleverness.

From:

What's the point? You're still going to be cleverer at the end of the day. What's the point in watching me struggle?
