[ A carefully crafted, purposefully formatted, and frustratingly thoughtful message arrives some time in the wee hours of the morning. ]

Logan,

It's taken me days and days to get up the gumption to say so, but here goes: I am SO angry. I expected better of you. Please let me know when you will be in the office again so we can talk.

Sincerely,
Molly Solverson

[howlett]

[Of course, a distinctly unthoughtful, somewhat gratingly casual message comes back to her.]

anybody who knows me knows not to expect much.

what are we talking about now?

[oofta]

what you did to that young man, mr barnes

[howlett]

[It takes a while for a reply to come this time.]

whats between me and barnes got nothing to do with you moll.

[oofta]

sure maybe until i had to decide whether he was guilty or not

which i cant see how he was if he hasnt yet done what people accused him of doing

[howlett]

how's that my fault?

where i come from he did it.
he knows he done it.
and he's got no qualms about doing it again.

so neither do i.

[oofta]

hes just a kid

he doesnt know anything but i think you do

what did it solve? do you feel better? did it fix what happened?

[howlett]

he's a jackass. but he knows what he's doing. and he intends on doing it again.

i'm not an idiot, Moll. that aint why i did it.

[oofta]

then tell me why you did it

[howlett]

because he deserves it.

[oofta]

tell me why he deserves it because whats in your past is still in his future right?

[howlett]

i told you Moll. he knows what he done. and hes ready and willing to do it again.
he's been handed every chance to change his future.

but the future he wants is the one where he kills my wife and cuts my son out her stomach.

i aint losing sleep over anything that happens to him.

[oofta]

you know he wont remember anything that happens here and neither will you so i dont understand what it solves

what happens next time youre ticked at him, though

but fine if you can live with your decision then live with it but i feel sorry for you and for him

[howlett]

and if i could go back in time and cut his throat out there, i do that too. what the hell makes you think i was out to solve anything? no one even god damn dies properly in this place so maybe save your outrage for something that matters.

i dunno. might do it again.

keep your pity for people who deserve it.

[oofta]

my pity is spent exactly where it needs to be apparently

[howlett]

suit yourself.
