[He can only imagine what's she's going through. For as long as they've known each other, and for as much as Dirk likes to think he can manage his own when it comes to the Lalonde psyche, he can't read her. Not with what she's feeling, not like this. Maybe it's the whole fact he can't really put himself in her shoes, not yet. Maybe not ever. But he can comfort her, just like all those nights, staying up and talking about their parents, about things neither Jane nor Jake really understood.
If she can't hold herself together after what she did, he'll have to. And even if he doesn't know if he's up for the challenge, he can damn well try.]
Don't give me that load of garbage, You didn't murder your friend. You killed English. Jake was just an... [Oh god it kills him to say it...] unfortunate bystander to it all. Besides, this whole self-loathing image is putting a damper on how much ass we're going to kick. Everyone knows revenge is sweet.
[He does his best to joke, and it comes off just as dry and nonchalant as if he was actually feeling it. But he's not, not really. There's a part of him that isn't into it, and he doesn't know if it'll every come back. But he's got to remain constant. Normal.
And he definitely doesn't let her get away from him. Not that easily. He holds his grip but not too tight. He just doesn't let her turn away.]
If there's one thing that's going to happen here, It's that you are not getting out of my fucking sight, ya hear? If English is here, somewhere, he can show back up at any moment. We've got to stick together, horror-movie style.
I know. So many feels right now. :c
