Nate, it's okay. I'm not upset you didn't. The black magic though, it gave it away. It also made things clearer for me in that moment when I needed things to be clear.
I never thought about actually fighting for rights and to protect others. I always thought about doing it as a lawyer but here, that doesn't work. Maybe it's time for another way.
I want to be there for you, and this town. This is my home, and I want to be there for it.

Nate, no. You feel that way because it is bad. You're a good person because you would rather it not be like that... but you're there for others because it is.

Though that's likely easier than a name. Suppose I'll have to figure out the right one. Just to try and fit as well as some.

i think you'd be perfect.

It still amazes me how much a year in this place has given me.

Look around. There's gangs and sometimes monsters.
Others of us out of control sometimes.
Someone has to do it.

and i can't pretend that hasn't given me, like. a purpose
i just feel bad for thinking that way, you know? because obviously it'd be objectively better if none of that shit were happening.
