While I'm humiliated already, I may as well humiliate myself a little further, and then we can avoid one another until curfew or other developments demand?
[. . .]
We both know one another's circumstances, and our reasons for being here - well, I know yours, at least. For that obvious reason, outside of Wednesday curses, I haven't ever thought of matters in terms of any particular obligations we have to one another aside from the fact that you are dear to me. Your friendship and your companionship is meaningful to me.
But now I find myself in the uncomfortable position of wanting to subject you to my personal views against my better instincts, having subjected everyone to some sort of ridiculous twisted version of them and wanting to right the record.
I am not the sort of person who approaches things casually. When I first came here, I thought perhaps I ought to try to change that, because it seemed expected of me and the notion of being held back by some sort of tender sentiment that others did not possess was offensive to me.
But if I were truly to examine what it is I wish to do during the time we have left here, what I desire is simply your company. Nothing else.
