[HA HA. . . HA. . .]

Tell me about it.

[he can't see the future but I can and lol]

I want to say "at least this week it was only one," but even that's shitty.

[slobjection]

[ ha ha ha ha! ]

.... Yeah. Kind of worried people will lose sight of the big picture, since it was Dimitri.

[ and he's in big mourning too ]

[survivaltricks]

. . . yeah. It's easy to lose track of that bigger picture when someone you really care about is--

[gone]

Are you okay--?

[slobjection]

Especially in a situation like this.

[ ...... ]

Just tired, is all.

[ of watching kids die. ]

[survivaltricks]

. . . aren't we all.

[they're all so exhausted. they're at a breaking point; how much longer do they have to do this?]

Were you-- close to Dimitri?

[slobjection]

Think so, yeah. He's a good kid.... reminds me of you, actually. Just, not as prominent of a funny bone.

[ smiles a little, wryly. ]
