Figured me not being gung-ho with answering was big enough of a hint.

[Christ.]

Oh, so you got a baseline for what it’s supposed to feel like between two people who shared a body?

V, if you’re fishing for some kind of answer out of me, just spit it out. I don’t have time to play guesswork at what you want.

[disrupts]

Since when do you wait for people to take hints?

Synchrony doesn't fuckin work one sided Johnny

I'm not fishing for anything. Usually what happens when one person explains how they felt, other person usually shares too. Let me guess... you don't want to share because I'm not entitled and don't have a grand privilege to your feelings about that either

Am I close or you gonna accuse me of putting words in your mouth again?

[engrams]

Screw you. Don’t patronize me and pretend I don’t know that you’re upset because you’re not hearing what you want to hear.

[Johnny thrives on knee jerk and impulse reactions, on callousness to cover up uncertainty. A little voice in his head says he should step back; everything else is fire, hackles raised.]

What’d you want, huh? Me to fixate on it the same way you have? Come up to you and ask if you wanna hold hands to “feel whole” again? Or fuck it outta our systems?

[The Silverhand special: be mean about it. Shut it down quick.]

Fooling yourself if you think I was going to do a single, damn thing.

[disrupts]

You think I'm upset cuz you didn't say what I wanted you to say? Johnny you said nothing at all

Trust me I know you're not singing off of anybody else's song sheet but your own. That's why I fuckin asked you

You want to be a dick about it go ahead but I already saw this routine before

And yeah that hurt but know what? I'm not too scared to admit that I have feelings to hurt in the first place

[engrams]

Yeah, I’m so predictable, and you’re just as dense as a bag of bricks as always.

Ever think that a non-answer is an answer? Ever think that maybe people choose to ignore things and pretend nothing happened for a reason?

[disrupts]

Original. Call me a gonk too if it makes ya feel like that's gonna convince me otherwise. I'm not stupid Johnny

Bunch of reasons but I don't know what yours is. Bet you want me to think you're just an asshole to the core but I know that's not true either so

What exactly am I supposed to think?

[engrams]

I am an asshole but ain’t it.

Goddamn it

Why are you so eager to make things more complicated than they are? Can’t you just accept that I don’t even wanna think about this?

[disrupts]

Complicated? What the fuck is complicated about it? It just is. The only thing that's complicated is figuring out why you're being so fuckin evasive

You don't want to think about it and I can't make you. But I thought you'd at least have my back enough to give me a straight answer whatever it is and whenever that is. Not 'I don't want to think about this period'

So what I got now is a ton of bullshit guesswork to try figure it out myself

[engrams]

Don’t know how much fucking clearer I can be.

Nothing’s changed. Nothing’s happened. Nothing’s going to change. Same as if you didn’t bring it up at all.

In fact, I’m not talking about this anymore. If it doesn’t have to do with music or street racing, I’m not humoring you.
