[She looks up at the hand on her shoulder, then offers Envy a small smile. It's a little strained, but it's genuine. She knows how much that gesture means coming from him. Coming from ANY of his kind.]
[The smile fades when he goes on though, and she just nods.]
[Yep. Familiar as hell.]
That's how they do it.
They make themselves seem so reasonable. Make you doubt yourself.
And before you know it, they have you eating out of their hands again.
That's how it always goes.
That's how it went with me.
Till she came up with away to get what she needed without my cooperation.
[She takes a deep breath, then takes her hand off of Envy's shoulder to place it on the one he has on hers, giving it a hard squeeze.]
You can't beat yourself up for this, man. Please don't.
She wants you back but she can't have you. And if you can't get away from her on your own... well.
