@Ecks | day 181 | text

[ecks]

[She knows the network name of the person she killed because she remembers the face. She does not think she will forget this face.]

are you alive

[wilsonsheart]

Yes.

[Amber, meanwhile, having only really interacted with Ecks by text before, isn't exactly sure where this is coming from. Is she just hoping that they have all their doctors?]

[ecks]

I am sorry that I killed you

[wilsonsheart]

[Oh.]

It's alright.

[Amber isn't so sure she believes her own words. How can she forgive someone she barely knows? But how can she condemn them, too, knowing that they were under the influence? When she woke up as if it had never happened?]

Thank you for your apology.

[ecks]

I have to fix things with you if you are willing to try
or leave you alone if you want space

[wilsonsheart]

[Good lord.]

You don't have to do anything that you don't want to.
I don't mind if you want to keep talking, but there's not really anything for you to fix.

[At least, not that Amber can imagine, considering they hardly know each other. Can't rebuild trust that was never established to begin with.]

[ecks]

I do not know if I want to keep talking
Davesprite said those were the two things I need to do

[wilsonsheart]

I'm willing to try whatever you'd like.

[Not that she can figure out what that could even be, at this point. Amber understands that she's not going to get anywhere by building barriers.]

Did you talk very much about what happened last night?

[ecks]

I think it is supposed to be for you though

I talked to Davesprite
and Doctor Watson
and Doctor House

[wilsonsheart]

I don't need to be comforted. If you think you owe me something, Ecks, don't. What's done is done.

[ecks]

what's done is undone
but not undone

if you do not need to be comforted I think this is enough

[She doesn't really. She doesn't know how to navigate this at all, because only two of the people she's killed have come back to life and been able to receive apologies.]

[wilsonsheart]

I agree. Take care of yourself.

[Amber will assume this is the end of the conversation. Part of her feels bad, but she doesn't know what else she can say. Not to make Ecks feel better, or to make herself feel better. All in all, this situation is uncomfortable.]
