[Okay. Breathing. How is he gonna explain this.]

The first thing that ever happened to me was this tattoo.

Nice--the Nice he knew--she had terrible scars, all over! And she lost an eye, too, when they were kids! I get echoes off you guys all the time. If she does too, what if she ends up like that?!

[Isaac slowly processes the information.]

Oh... OH that girl on the train right!

Hmmmm... I'm not sure buddy. That's.... a really tough situation.

[gunhearted]

Please Isaac, I'm begging you, I'll do anything. [The sobbing continues.]

Nobody deserves that.

[originaloddcouple]

I don't think she deserves that either! Just tell me what you want me to do!

[Sorry, he didn't catch those earlier instructions through that wordvomit.]

[gunhearted]

... You gotta stay away from her. We all do.

[He doesn't know why it bothers him so badly that he's suggesting that.]

[originaloddcouple]

[There's a short pause as he thinks it over (with as little brainpower he can muster).]

...Alright, pal. I trust your instincts.

[gunhearted]

[He sniffs.

It sucks. She seems nice and he'd like to know more about her outside of "my last life was clearly absolutely in love with you" but. He's used to not getting what he wants.]

I'm sorry...

[originaloddcouple]

...There's no reason to be apologize, buddy.

[gunhearted]

[No too late, he's crying flat out again.] I'm really sorry, though, I really am!

[originaloddcouple]

[Ohhh noooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

It's okay! If you think this is the best way to keep her safe, then I trust that it is!

[gunhearted]

[He manages to get out something about bothering Isaac before he hangs up. His message has been relayed.]
