[puzzlingly]

congrats
you won

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Didn't realize I was playing a game.
What'd I win?

[puzzlingly]

your little test about trusting people
you were right

[1/2]

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

[Ah. Sounds like somebody got served a decent helping of reality]

That's not winning. It's just not being wrong.

[It's not something he had wanted to be right about in the first place]

[2/2]

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

How bad?

[puzzlingly]

same difference

lucky to be alive

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Stop talking about these things like its dice or cards. It's not winning. It's not the luck of the draw.

It's just shitty things people do to each other. There's no magic to it.

[puzzlingly]

whatever
just thought that you should know

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Well. Thanks for letting me know.

[What else is he supposed to say to that?]

But for the record, I wanted you to 'win' that one.

[puzzlingly]

me too

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

So
Who was it?

[puzzlingly]

dont wanna talk about it
hurts to text

「He is that butthurt.」

maybe next time

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

A name is usually shorter to type than 'don't wanna talk about it'
But cool. You do what you gotta do.
Im glad you're ok.

But I wanna clear something up. Im not some 'anti-trust' crusader. But I am a skinny blind man with no fighting skills whatsoever.
Nada. Zippo.
So I also don't believe in just handing out trust like its candy on halloween. That'd be reckless. And my friends? - the guys I DO trust - they'd be mad as hell if I wasn't doing my part to look out for myself, ya know?

So far as I'm concerned trust is something you build, not something you're owed.

[puzzlingly]

yukari. glad now?

you tell me this as if

you know what
im not doing this
youre right k?


(wow dyslexia acting up, read his last tag as how was it LOL oh well np i fixed it!)

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Stop.

I'm not 'glad' about any of this. I don't want to be 'right'. I just wanted you to understand.

But whatever. Im not looking to convert you or something.

You've got more than enough shit to deal with right now.
So just forget whatever it is i'm talking about. It's not important.

[puzzlingly]

im not that naive
i just wanted to believe

fine

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Cool it. I never said you were naive.

Just wanted you to see that maybe our experiences make us see this stuff differently.

I was explaining myself. Not trying to tell you what to do.

Didn't want you going around thinking I'm just some asshole who hates everybody off the bat.

[Cuz of the people in this stupid cave, Kog was actually one of the few Whistler sort of maybe slightly cared what he thought of him]

Look. Just get better. All of this? It sucks. You being hurt? That really fucking sucks. And now you questioning yourself because some dipsshit did this?
That almost fucking sucks the most.

I told you before, Kog, you're one of the most interesting people in this cave.

Never wanted you to go change the way you are.

[puzzlingly]

i never thought that of you...

maybe its a little too late for that
sorry i bothered you

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

You didn't bother me, Kid.

And
Thanks for telling me. Really. I would have been worried if you had dropped off the grid after our last chat.

Think of me as a
Friend.

[He can't believe he just typed that but fine. It's not like he doesn't mean it]

Don't know what I can offer but Im here if you need something.

[puzzlingly]

「And just as he said before, Atem is not sure if Whistler actually means it or if he just wants to humor him. The encounter with Yukari certainly changed something within him, he's not even sure how. He's just so angry, with himself, mostly, looking for a fight with those that do not deserve it.」

nothing. youre fine.

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

[Whistler will leave it there as he can't see this going anywhere productive.

Seems like the kid needs to stew a while]
