0028. His off-screen rebirth
While the attempt at some form of judicial system is greatly appreciated, I am not some murder case to be solved. Drop it. I will handle it on my own.
Memory, have you drawn those pictures per my request?

That's what friends are for. To help you through stuff you can't handle all by yourself.
So your goals were met, fine, but were the goals of you - one person - worth the pain you caused your friends? Maybe if you'd asked for their help, they could have worked with you to accomplish your goals AND no one would have died. Then you all could have had a party to celebrate, or something.
Friends are something you gotta earn and earn the right to keep. Keep treating em like trash and they'll abandon you. Act like they shouldn't care about you and maybe they WILL stop caring. Then you won't have any friends and one day you'll come up against something so far beyond you you'll wish you had them watching your back.
And worse, no one'll know or care that you died. It'll be like you never existed at all.
... Sorry, I really don't know where that came from.

The thing you gotta remember about kids is the whole 'not knowing' thing. A lot of that's just vocabulary, like I try explaining to her a lot. You can't use big words unless you explain what they mean, or they'll jut get confused. Blood's a weird case, so I wouldn't just think about her, but with a lot of kids they only think in really simple terms - eating food stops hunger, wearing clothes make you warm, really basic stuff like that. So sometimes you gotta use... [[pause as he looks the word up]] analogies to get your point across.
Pictures work well too, I think, because not everybody got taught how to read as a kid either. Guess I wasn't, anyway, or maybe I'd be better at it.
