Just because you can doesn't mean you should! I'm so tired of--of everyone suddenly forgetting who people are and how much they matter as soon as we find out they killed someone!
No, you don't! Because this place messed with your head and convinced you that you needed to do it! That doesn't count! I don't know why nobody else gets that!
It's not an excuse, it's the truth!! Why do you want to let yourself be hurt so badly?!
[ bursting into angry tears and squeezing him tighter ]
Because it matters to me! And I don't want him to suffer!!!

[AUGH HE'S SO DISTRESSED ITS A GOOD THINK HE'S WORKED UP SO HIS TSUN CAN'T KICK IN]
Don't you understand, Mabel!? I was never real to begin with! And even if I was, my tree is gone, it's dead! I don't have any connection to the forest anymore, I'm nothing! I'm just a shadow! You'd be better off just forgetting about me, seriously!!

If you're not real, then neither am I! And neither is anyone else here! Because I know we weren't all just hallucinating an imaginary friend together!!
I don't care if you're part of some computer code, or whatever happened to your tree--all I know is, you're here, you're one of my bestest friends ever, and you don't deserve this!

And I started the apocalypse! So what?! I don't care, Tsuki, and I'm not letting you chase me away when you need someone in your corner more than ever!
[ sniffles ] I started the apocalypse?
[ tbf, it was a very localized apocalypse. ]
I didn't mean to! It was an accident, I--ugh! Whatever! [ she punches him lightly in the shoulder ] That's not the point! What I mean is, just because you might've done some bad things doesn't mean I don't still care about you! Cuz I know who you are deep down, and I like that guy, no matter what!

But you don't!
[ throws herself into another hug at him ] Why are you trying so hard to get me to not like you anymore?!

Nuh-uh! You think this is any different than you getting mad at me over using my no-sadness power? You're trying to do the same thing right now! Well, I'm not falling for it! I'm gonna care--and even if you did make me hate you somehow, I'd still care! Cuz you'll still have been one of my best friends since we showed up here!
[ she flinches back a little at that ]
...it's okay. I knew he didn't like me back anyway.
...it's okay. I knew he didn't like me back anyway.
Well I'm not! The more you try to make me hate you, the more I'm gonna love you instead!
[UGH!!!!]
You're impossible.
... The first time I died I tried to tell my brother the same thing. We were always arguing, and unlike me, he remembered the whole time how our father died because he was protecting me. He should have resented me, should be glad to have me gone. But do you know what he said?
