anthony goldstein has a chart for this. (logiclogiclogic) wrote in pandorarpg,

Anthony probably should have expected that sort of reaction. It was the sort of reaction that someone would definitely have if they found out that someone was looking to hurt their family, especially if they were close to their family. Anthony could tell that Justin actually fell in the category of being close to his family, something Anthony sorely lacked. But that didn't mean he wouldn't care if it turned out that even Rhonda or Sophia were marked, right? They were still his sisters. And he didn't dare consider the very idea of Lance being marked; he was only eleven years old. Sitting on the sofa beside Justin while keeping a very appropriate amount of space between the two of them, he tried to think of the appropriate way to answer. This was a moment for sympathy he was sure, and in a way, it sort of felt identical to dealing with an outburst from Michael. Which he had a lot of experience with, actually. It was just... being positive. It wasn't really his thing.

"I can't... I can't say that I know how you feel... I haven't found out anything about my family. I'm not even sure how I'd feel even if I did." He shook his head just slightly. "But it's not, we can't give up on the idea that this can be stopped." It sounded funny coming from him, as he was more than self-aware that he had half given up already. But this conversation wasn't about him. It was about the hysterical person sitting on the other half of his sofa.

"And this likely sounds horribly cliche as far as being positive -- or trying to be positive -- in the middle of all this is concerned, but... maybe, try to use it as extra motivation? I guess? O-or something like that."
