I think it's about time I got a job. The money I was given when I got here isn't going to last forever and who knows? Maybe there's somebody out there with a few answers as to just what is going on around here.

So. According to Elle's son ~~that's just too weird to type~~, there's some version of me that gets kicks out of threatening to shoot kids.

How am I supposed to take something like that?

And is this another one of those things that you all knew about but didn't see any reason to tell me?

	I figured as much. And thanks, for at least hearing me out. Lack of logic and all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	None of us run on perfect logic, Claire. If we did, we'd probably make a lot of really bad decisions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah but running on pure emotion isn't the best idea in the world either. I guess it's a matter of figuring out a balance. Which sounds a lot easier than it actually is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... isn't this the part where you're supposed to tell me that it's not really that hard and I'll figure it out the older I get? Oh, this probably won't come as much of a surprise but I figure it bears saying anyway. Your mother is up to something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not about to lie to you, even to try and be reassuring. Some people spend their whole lives trying to figure out how to properly find the middle ground between their intellect and their emotions. Some people never do. It all depends on the person and how much effort they're willing to put into it. ~~And even then it never~~ What is it this time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Good. I'd rather know the whole, ugly truth than be lied to. I've had more than enough of that to last me a lifetime. Though hopefully I can eventually figure out some kind of balance. I mean, eternity is a pretty long time.

I'm not sure. I told her how I just wasn't all that sure that Sylar was really dead and she just started getting... vague? I guess? She finally just all but admitted even if she had some sort of contingency plan it was best if I didn't know and yada yada yada.

Have I mentioned how tired I am of hearing how I don't need to know something when it's usually that lack of me knowing that lands me in hot water? ~~Or maybe it's the fact that I can't stay out of the middle of things even if I don't know what's goi~~

	I only believed it when Ma and Noah said he was dead because Matt was agreeing with them, to be honest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nathan x_clairebear_x 2009-05-19 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	You did? You're not just saying that, right, to make me feel better? Because I'm serious. Something's just felt... off, ever since they started saying he was dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Claire. unsureidentity 2009-05-19 12:48 pm UTC (link)
	What other reason would I have to believe it when they said that? They both assured us that he was dead and gone two months ago. It wasn't until he started killing again, and I found out about it that Ma even admitted what had probably happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nathan x_clairebear_x 2009-05-19 12:55 pm UTC (link)
	I've been lied to enough that it's hard to believe much of anything I'm told anymore. In this case, though, I want to believe it. I just... After everything he did, after what he put us all through... it just can't be that easy. Nothing is that easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Claire. unsureidentity 2009-05-19 12:57 pm UTC (link)
	It's the same with Ma. I want to trust her. And God knows that I still love her. It's just so hard to believe anything that she says anymore. But I can't think of any reason that Parkman would have to lie about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, he's the one piece of the puzzle that doesn't fall into place. I don't see them being able to just convince him to outright lie. Not when Sylar could use that to his advantage and get the jump on all of us while our guards were down.

Unless they convinced him that he really was dead and Matt just went along with it because he wants to believe it too?

I don't know. It feels like such a long shot but, like you said. I just don't know if I can trust their word on it. Even seeing his body burn, it still just doesn't feel like it's finished.

	Well, if we need to, we'll figure out something to do. He's not invincible. When we start thinking that he is, that's when he's won. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He's about as close to invincible as someone can get, but I get what you're saying. There's at least one way to shut down his brain and maybe we can finally make it stick. If, of course, he actually shows up. Even if he's alive back home I guess I should remember that doesn't mean he's going to come here.

And thanks, Nathan. Seriously. I just feel better knowing I'm not the only one that feels like something isn't quite right. I think Peter might feel the same way, but it's good to know you're not sure too.
