[ There's a girl sitting in a garden with insanely bright pink hair making flower wreaths! Do you want one? You know you want one. ]

[If you offend her, I will slap you.]

Johnny.

[2nd_slinger]

[Just... deflates, sagging while standing up, as if all the vim has suddenly been let out of him through a valve. His reply is equal parts weary and bitter--]

You. Fucking. People.

[thekingsgambit]

[Just faces with that frantic, pleading look. So completely unlike him at all.]

Please.

[2nd_slinger]

... nothing is ever easy.

All right. For her.

[thekingsgambit]

[Nods in a stilted, cautious manner, now clutching at the flowered wreath in his hand as he unconsciously runs that hand through his hair.]

[2nd_slinger]

...

...

... I swear to god, Lelouch. I am this close to bein' done with all of you.

[thekingsgambit]

I never asked you to stay. I am well aware of the twisted nature of my affairs.

... But it was never my intention to involve you in the worst of them.

I lost myself in this place. And... I don't know how to reverse it.

[2nd_slinger]

[Aaaaannnd we're back to bitterness.]

Which is such a comfort to me, really, now that I'm already neck-deep in all your bullshit.

[thekingsgambit]

[Jerking head up, half-mania evident in his eyes.]

What do you expect me to do? I gave you the truth because you demanded it. You wanted to know me-I should never have given in.

[thekingsgambit]

... I was just tired of lying to people... important..

[2nd_slinger]

Yeah? Well... The next time I ask you to be honest with me an' tell me the truth about how you're some kind of fucked-up wannabe Great Dictator responsible for forcin' your loved ones into committing war crimes, don't.

[thekingsgambit]

[Yeah, I've. I've got nothing. Especially since that just get me more of my lovely flashbacks. So. Taking a staggered step back.]

[2nd_slinger]

[There is part of him already regretting that remark--and another part of him reveling in just how damn cathartic that felt.]

You're still tellin' lies, Lelouch... Only now you've got me lined up to tell them too. And I'll do it, goddammit, but I'm not gonna let you forget what this costs. Ever.

[thekingsgambit]

[T-Trying to place himself once more.]

I... do not expect you to.

I never have.

[2nd_slinger]

Just so we're clear.

[thekingsgambit]

[Fighting to get a handle on his voice again.]

A-Ah.
