What do you mean?

[He WANTS to ask why he blew up the park after what he promised ❤️. Something that large scale would still mean work for her down the line, right? Ugh, but he can't.

Griffin shrugs, a little half-heartedly.]

I dunno. You were tougher than any time I'd fought you before. Like you wanted to kill me.

If you've been holding back on me this whole time, I'm gonna be pissed.

[mind_blown]

Oh. Yeah.

[she only made him promise for the hotel and the game tower. that he can do. but there's an awkward pause there.]

Because I did want to kill you then. Kind of lost it.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Oh.

[Kind of an impassive reaction, but. What else was there to say. Cool. Okay. Doesn't seem like he wants to kill him now.]

Well, it's not like I can really talk. About getting mad and losin' it.

[mind_blown]

Yeah... My feelings feel-- amped? Anyway. Kind of mad, because I've seen memories of myself where I have my shit together, and I don't think I'd lose it this way.

I dunno. I'm not holding back on you-- guess normally I care about how fucked up I get in a fight that's for fun.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Hmn. Guess I was counting on that too much. You're tough enough already when you remember t'feel pain. Not that losing control ever starts to suck less.

[Mutters,] Last memory I got was also running in defeat. Hated it then, too.

[mind_blown]

It's a memory. One they picked out to get a reaction out of you. Gotta remember it's not the whole story.

[a pause.]

Malik told me that, and it's good advice, even when I'm pissed at him.

[gigadevilbreaker]

He's really certain about these memories being predetermined and not a total gamble, isn't he.

...You're still pissed at him? For fucking up the kitchen? I thought you worked it out with him.

[mind_blown]

... I'm not. I wasn't pissed-- just...

[he looks like he's struggling for words for a moment.]

Nevermind.
