It... was probably kind of my fault it happened like that, huh?
[ it may have just been paranoid egocentrism the other times he's thought things in these games were his fault, but it's hard to imagine that was the case this time.
not that he has any way of knowing whether anything else would have been better, but... still feels pretty bad. ]
[ he's definitely not expecting that response, and he blinks. ]
What? But, I mean... I don't think the movie would have been about that if I hadn't said all that stuff during the trial, and Sheila might not have gotten involved in it...
[ he did not realize how strong her marriage opinions were. ]
It was all just a computer stimulation for us, so if this is actually real, I don't... understand how that would work. But it's worked plenty of other times, right? Some of these other ones had actual magic and everything?

And even if it were true, they would have found some other way to do it -- maybe even something much more cruel.

Either way, um... sorry for upsetting you yesterday.
[ especially since you were more right than he was about some things. ]
I still really don't get him.
no subject
It's okay. I'm not upset with you.
I think he intentionally acts in a way that makes it hard to understand him, so... [A brief, helpless laugh at that.]
no subject
[ he sighs. ]
...I guess it probably doesn't matter that much now anyway.

[She gazes out at the tombstones.]
I hope we'll see them again soon.
