Re: Gwen R/Sheriff M
You two worry bout each other a lot, huh? You thinka him as a responsibility cause you got an effect on him, even though it ain't really your fault?
[He thinks about it.] A girl I loved killed herself in fronta me a long time ago. I think, if somebody showed up looking like her, but without anya her memories or affections or anya that, it'd mess me up, yeah. I dunno that I'd hate her though, huh? I'd prolly still feel connected and try to talk to her. [That's not the point, Cris.] But, while maybe it's a real hard thing to face, for anybody, something I can't imagine fully, he's gonna hafta come to the understanding that you ain't her and you ain't trying to be her, whatever he thinks. And I think if he actually talked to you, like you were a person, instead of an aberration or something, he'd like you for you. [...] I guess what I'm saying is trauma is an inevitable parta life, chica, but it don't mean the enda it. Do you care nough about this kid to wanna help him through it? Or is that too much?
