( it's matter-of-fact, and she nods in approval. )
I didn't expect you to, but they don't think about anyone other than themselves, do they? How selfish...
( how distasteful. how terrible. the thoughts continue to stir in her mind, turning around and around as the ugly colours of resentment blend into one another. it doesn't help when dito eggs those feelings on. it's not that maple faults people for imperfection, but there's a difference between someone who's aware of the decisions they make and the reasons they make them, compared to someone who simply turns a blind eye to others' feelings and acts as if they're the victim. she's not the bad guy just because she doesn't want others to trample over her own feelings — she's certain of that.
... )
I'd prefer it if we could be friends, but you're right. It doesn't seem like they know how to do that properly — not even for Add.
( friendship necessitates kindness, respect — understanding. each of them something the group at large shows a distinct lack of. )
[ not gonna lie, he did not expect maple to be this...perceptive? he's just not used to it in a way that doesn't have anything sinister underlying it. not to say he isn't leery around maple, but she seems to have certain triggers that dito is utterly disinterested in hitting. otherwise she seems like almost like a damn highschool girl or something. it's kind of cute, how she can act like this and simultaneously be the same girl that exhibited violence on others earlier.
not that dito gives a shit. fuck those guys, anyway. ]
Gluttony's annoying. [ selfishness... same thing. ] Like, super annoying. I kind of can't stand it when these half-wits try to get so much when they don't even know what they fucking want.
[ he says, totally not projecting a bit here (five, five, five, annoying bitch—) as he kicks his legs and the audible crinkle of his hand in the chip bag resumes. but there's not much left to his snack by this point... boo. ]
Add's only dead 'cause he knew what he wanted, but they're not gonna accept that answer. Dumb bitches...
[ it's just really amusing to him how they all act so distraught over add despite the other angrily leaving their last meeting or whatever, only for dito to run into him. do they just pick and choose when to care...?
well, dito doesn't care anyway. he doesn't connect with people. he dissects them. ]
( it's easy to see that dito's words seem to resonate with her. add made his decision, and he saw it through to its conclusion. maple may not like what happened as a result, but... looking at it through that lens, it's easy to draw the parallels, identifying the common threads as she turns to face dito better now, clearly attentive to what he has to say. )
It's the same, don't you think? As the time before this. Everyone was so upset... They were angry, and they lashed out because things didn't turn out how they wanted, but they turned out this way because the others worked hard to reach their goals.
( nobody can expect to receive something if they don't put in the work to earn it. this is the ending that add put in all of his effort to give them, and to disrespect that is to spit on the feelings that went into his efforts. ranger's representation of the last meeting too, and the conflicts he had gotten into within it, they had been largely the same.
this time, maple can see the patterns that are beginning to surface within their little group. perhaps most interestingly of all: )
It's the same ones who tried to make it about themselves that time too.
( and without any regard for others who might have been affected, no less. )
