Holy crap, it's still winter?

What the hell is with this planet, the days are over like that but the seasons just hang around.

Oh, and? Goldenrod sucks in the winter. It really does. I just went on a friggin vacation and I'm feeling stir crazy already. I mean, sure, it's great for getting work done, but all work and no play....

So I'm thinking since this reign of frigid cold refuses to loosen its grip, may as well try and find a way to enjoy it! Make it work for me.

[In ways that don't involve leaving people to freeze to death or making cool ice mazes to leave people to die in. It's so hard to have fun around here sometimes.]

I've been reading about these ski resorts in Blackthorn, those sound pretty sweet! Deluxe packages, all the amenities, in room Jacuzzi option, killer slopes, a resort full of employees to wait on me and cater to my every need... why let the snow kick my ass when I can kick snow's ass? Plus it sounds like there's some pretty badass Pokemon up there. Always looking for more of those.

Yeah, I'm booking a stay. Any of my usual crew can come, if you want.

You know who you are.

[A pause]

And by 'come if you want', I mean 'pack your shit, we're going skiing'.

Well I sincerely apologize for having ruined your life then, Jack.

Because you have no clear grasp as to what mistakes you made. Whenever I try to point them, you do things like this.

You are infuriating.

[Jack looks like he's about to blow a fuse.]

Angel...I never said you ruined my life. You're putting words in my mouth. You're one of the best damn things in my life, sweetheart. You know that.

I was very clear about what those mistakes were, so I'm not going through that again here and now. And all I am trying to do is figure out some way to work this out!

I'm infuriating? Me? Cause I'm the one who's repeatedly said 'I'm sorry' and tried to offer solutions and things we could try and I am trying my freaking hardest!

[brokencode]

No you aren't. If you were, you would listen to me! You would attempt to change!

Instead you're turning it back on me, just as you always do.

[thedifferencebetween]

I listen to you! I also try and have actual discussions with you, but you always bring it back to the same thing!

Hey, I backed off when you told me to, didn't I? I didn't start this conversation, Angel. You sought it out.

For no reason other than to be petty and spiteful and mean.

[brokencode]

Who do you think I learned that from?

[thedifferencebetween]

I know exactly where you got it from.

See, I do pay attention. I do listen to you. And I've realized...you're really so much like me.

So you don't get to hop up on a high horse and lecture me relentlessly. You're not that different.

[brokencode]

I don't have my daughter's blood on my hands. I have not killed the people that love and trusted me.

We might not be different than each other, but I do know that I'm better than you.

[thedifferencebetween]

See! That! Right there! That is exactly what I'm talking about. I DID NOT KILL YOU! That's just how you like to phrase it. I was literally begging for your life and all but offering to hand over the damn key! In what world is that me killing you?

You're barely in your early twenties, your brain hasn't finished yet, you don't even know who you are yet. Nobody does at that age.

Trust me.

[brokencode]

I might not know who I am, but I do know that I will never be the man you are now. I will not poison my loved ones and corrupt them to the point that they have to beg to die.

I said it before. You may not have delivered the killing blow, but you pushed me to that point. It's all the same in the end. If you want to justify your innocence through semantics, be my guest. But I know what you did. I will never forget it. And I will never forgive you.

[thedifferencebetween]

Angel, god help me...I have apologized for the poisoning thing. Did not intend that, wish it hadn't happened, I'm sorry for that. I never, ever wanted that to happen.

I can't do this again. I can't. So I'm not gonna.

[brokencode]

I won't put you out any further. Once again you aren't listening.

Enjoy your vacation.

[thedifferencebetween]

And once again, you refuse to acknowledge my honest apology.

Oh, I will. 'Cause I'm taking the people who actually love me.
