[quaaack]

i wouldn't
i won't

[innerharbor]

hold you to that
and I'll make sure you don't get iced

[quaaack]

thanks, i guess??

[innerharbor]

least I could do for your annoying ass

[quaaack]

i'd joke that you like me anyway but i'm pretty sure you don't

[innerharbor]

don't dislike you either

[quaaack]

small mercies
i don't dislike you either, just so you know

[innerharbor]

Is that good

[quaaack]

probably not
i consider you a friend, so

[innerharbor]

really?
Huh
Don't got many of those

[quaaack]

you've got friends
naomi, holden, alex
prax too even if he's not on the ship anymore
you've got more friends than me!

[innerharbor]

If I get to count them you do too Danny

[quaaack]

eh
the last time i had friends they all died
so maybe let's not go that far

[innerharbor]

You kill them?

[quaaack]

nope

[innerharbor]

You guilty they died?

[quaaack]

yeah
me and my best friend followed this guy
trusted him to do the right thing by us
followed him blindly
we got in a situation where he gambled with her life
lost the gamble
i should have died instead
i tried to kill him for it but someone talked me down
should have killed him
he died a bit later
both of them are dead now
and it's my fault

[innerharbor]

How'd they talk you down?

[quaaack]

i took hostage of the ship
and forced the woman who killed my best friend to hold the guy who risked her at gunpoint
i was going to make her kill him and then kill her
the woman, she talked me down
said it wouldn't bring her back if i killed them both
and they were more useful alive since we were stranded on a ship way out in the belt
i was so angry
just wanted them to pay
if i killed them i wouldn't have gotten out of there
none of us would have survived
but sometimes i wish i did kill them
even if he's dead, she's not
she's the one who actually pulled the trigger
and i let her live

[innerharbor]

She gonna kill anyone else?

[quaaack]

no
that was the point
she's like holden
couldn't stomach killing someone
kepler thought she didn't have it in her to kill alana
which is why he risked alana's life
she didn't think she'd do it either
but both of them were wrong and alana still ended up dead
she won't kill anyone else
but it won't bring back the one person she did kill

[innerharbor]

Then you didn't do anything
just got caught up in the churn
people tend to die
just happens

[quaaack]

yeah
guess it does
