He shouldn't be so affected by what someone else thinks.

[fononfailure]

I'm not sure that's what it is.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

...well then what do you think it is?

[fononfailure]

He's tired of hurting.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

...Who isn't? It happens.

[fononfailure]

You said it yourself, he has problems most of us don't. That pain easily overwhelms him. ...I understand what it's like.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

[shrugs lightly] Doesn't mean he should inflict it on anyone else.

[fononfailure]

It's not as if he's doing it purposely to make our lives difficult.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

He certainly doesn't seem to care what impact it has on the people that care about him.

[fononfailure]

That's because at the moment he doesn't care about anything, himself included.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

Well that's not a very self-sustaining evolutionary tactic, now is it.

[fononfailure]

Considering he tried going off the roof of a tower, no.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

My point exactly.

[fononfailure]

The idiot is lucky he has people who love his sorry ass.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

[laughs humorlessly] No shit.

[fononfailure]

Though in reality, I suppose I don't have any room to talk.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

You don't regularly make attempts on your own life and claim you're not worth someone's care. [irritated replica is irritated.]

[fononfailure]

Not that most people are aware of, no.

[passes her a sidelong glance, then shrugs] I'm less likely to give him the time of day than I am you. You've not done anything that directly affects me with your apparent suicidal thought processes.

[fononfailure]

...besides having your girlfriend try to fry me, and herself, a couple of times?

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

I can't do a thing about her anger, she's got a shorter fuse than my Asch. She... [scowls] She cares about him more than I'd like her to, to be entirely honest. And he doesn't seem to give a damn about what he does to her with his own self-hatred.

[fononfailure]

Heh. She's got the shortest temper of any Asch I've ever met and that's quite a few. ...so is this just jealousy rearing it's ugly head? If so, I still maintain you don't have to worry about it. And it isn't his fault if we care too much for him. He's an Asch and is always going to be a pain.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

I'm not jealous, I just hate seeing her cry over someone she cares about that much. He doesn't even give a damn.

[fononfailure]

Okay, take it easy. He isn't always this way nor is it that he doesn't care.

[seethes for a second, then sighs] ...sorry.
