The thing about Embry is: he says things to make people hate him so he can hurt himself. Things he doesn't always mean, yeah. But it doesn't work when you see behind the curtain and get that part of it.
Doesn't surprise me he'd want to linger in something that would show him the worst part of himself. But he shouldn't have done that to you, you understand? That was fucked up, even if he wasn't trying to hurt you. But it did anyway - because it drags you in, is that it? Still wrapping my head around all of the logistics here, sweetheart.
[no, he does not understand that reference, even if he knows what an exorcism is.]
If you could - would you want to get rid of it? The void, I mean.
Don't laugh at the cliché, but I read something once you might like. That all the good, light parts of someone can only exist if they've got the dark ones too. Except some of us are darker than others, like me and Embry.
I think we're the ones who need the exorcist, not you, Bobby.
[ doesn’t surprise me he'd want to linger in something that would show him the worst part of himself. it doesn’t surprise bob, either, when he accused embry of it while everything else was happening. a desire to be hurt that supersedes any wish to protect his loved ones.
one that bob has enabled before and shouldn’t have. a cruel precedent. ]
yeah it can’t reach anybody without me i’m like a conduit for electricity and the generator too the cia notes said i’m like a nuclear reactor
[ and before chernobyl, there was the nrx meltdown in 52. a delicate ecosystem. a nearly catastrophic failure, all because of simple, human error that wouldn’t have mattered, in any other environment.
it took 108 seconds for the accident to occur. every two seconds the reactor was online, the power level doubled. bob, in many ways, is just as vulnerable (or volatile). that armand found him in the window between acceleration and catastrophe is nothing short of miraculous. ]
i don’t think it’s cliché. i’ve uh been reading a lot of books about the same thing to try to understand it better it just it scares the shit outta me, so i put off doing anything more about it. i know that was selfish and stupid now, i know, but i’m still fucking scared so yeah i’d get rid of it, because then i wouldn’t hurt anybody again
anyway i don’t think you guys are any worse than the people on my team who were like, assassins and black ops contractors and stuff you probably just did a lot of insider trading
