He certainly will not be. I will put something there for him, even if others do not.

[ glances up at marcoh. ]

Thank you for taking care of Anders.

[boxcar]

I just did what came first to mind.

[ Like... literally. He did not think too much of it. He just saw violence breaking out and threw a punch before anything else. That's kind of all he's good for. ]

I will put something too. I don't know what though.

[fried]

It was necessary for it to happen.

[ a hum, and then: ]

Perhaps a protein shake. [ this is a joke probably ]

[boxcar]

Sure.

[ He'll take the suggestion, seriously. ]

[fried]

[ help he laughs ]

His spirit would wither if he knew I read his note.

[boxcar]

[ Technically Jiaoqiu did not show Marcoh the note DURING trial I think? Marcoh just gives him a kind of look like '?' ]

[fried]

[ i think that's true because he was punching anders when jiaoqiu showed it to su waner

so he hands marcoh said note, because he swiped it from trial before he left. lol, lmao. ]

[boxcar]

Stalk?

[ KILL SELF IF SEEN? This is the most abnormal note he's ever read in his life. ]

[fried]

[ help it kind of makes him laugh in this slightly hysterical way because it's SO STUPID ]

I told him to find people he wanted to model his behavior after, to dissuade him from violence. I did not tell him to stalk people, but we can only hold our children's hands for so long before having to let them take their own steps forward.

[boxcar]

[ ...He lowers the note, and hands it back to Jiaoqiu. ]

I do remember he had arranged to get a punching bag, when we were decorating. And he said I should not laugh.

[ He would've never laughed. ]

[fried]

[ takes it, and puts it away. ] I told you, he admired your strength. He said as much to me.

We were working on learning that physical strength is not all there is to being a person.

[boxcar]

I may not have been the best role model in that case.

[fried]

I think you are.

You care for people. That is a step in the right direction, and besides, there is never going to be a perfect role model to begin with.

[boxcar]

I do, but that is normal, I thought.

I mean that I do rely on physical strength more than anything else. It is all I know well.

[fried]

It wasn't normal for Brimstone, is more my point.

You rely on your strength, but you find caring for people to be normal. That's important for someone like Brimstone to have seen.

[boxcar]

...I see.

[ He doesn't feel like he really did anything but... it's nice to hear. even if it might be a tad hollow. ]

[fried]

In any case, at least he didn't feel as though he needed to take himself out if you were onto him.

[ makes a joke at his own expense ]

[boxcar]

He thought it was embarrassing if you knew how much he liked you?

[fried]

I believe so.

I would have never made light of it, but I understand. It's hard to let the brick wall come away.

[boxcar]

...

I'm sorry it came to this.

[fried]

I am too.

But I am very used to it.

[boxcar]

Used to it doesn't make it any less, much, I'm told.

[fried]

I think that's not untrue.

[ he says, finally. ]

In my case, I don't have anything left to feel about it.

[boxcar]

Tired out?

[fried]

Numb, I suppose.
