MYRTLE//
Hey how're you doing?
KEVIN//
OK -- JUST ... TIRED.
MYRTLE//
I despise sleeping.
KEVIN//
(...)
KEVIN//
Should I call back Cassandra?
MYRTLE//
No.
Why?
KEVIN//
I feel I should apologize.
MYRTLE//
Again,
why?
From my perspective, you've done nothing wrong.
KEVIN//
I should have told her my past history upfront.
MYRTLE//
Maybe yes
Maybe no
At any rate, human or altered... --
Telling her would have caused you to relive the tortures so I'm glad you didn't.
KEVIN//
I should have been stronger.
MYRTLE//
Enough of this.
You've done nothing wrong.
Intent matters.
MYRTLE//
You fed from her, y/n?
KEVIN//
Never did I feed from Cassandra.
MYRTLE//
You lied to her, y/n?
KEVIN//
If we omit lies of omission --
MYRTLE//
You know I speak not of that, do not insult me, child.
KEVIN//
Then no, I never lied to Cassandra.
MYRTLE//
You raped her, y/n?
KEVIN//
Never did I, nor would I.
Words hurt.
MYRTLE//
So what's a call on the phone
or even trying
nay
begging
for her forgiveness
going to do?
MYRTLE//
If you didn't do any of those things, how do you think she found out?
KEVIN//
I don't think she 'found out' necessarily.
Her accusation was short, as if she'd hurt a rumor.
KEVIN//
She ran into the house w/o saying anything else...
it was all very... abbreviated.
MYRTLE//
A leak in the 'Net.
KEVIN//
But how could that bed?
We double... no, triple-checked--
MYRTLE//
Snitches are everywhere, dear Son.
MYRTLE//
I will investigate.
MYRTLE//
Please get some rest.
You finally have a timepiece on which to count.
KEVIN//
THX Mother.
