go ahead then. tell me.
no one else has given me any good reason, but i figure you've made good points before on why i'm a fucking idiot.

[Also, calling his death a waste makes him feel nice.]

You're a misguided guy who's barely reached middle age.
Your upbringing was bullshit.
But here you are.
On another fucking planet, far from the shit that raised you. Hazed you.

Throwing away your life is something I've always frowned upon.

Because no matter how bad shit gets, there's always an option to turn to that isn't walking both feet into the goddamn grave.
You just have to find it. And want it bad enough to keep yourself from selfishly taking your own life.

That's it. That's all I have to say.
Figure your ass out and warn me before you decide to show up.

funny how you tell me that and also don't want me going after YOU as my reason to stay alive.

[...That gives him a thought, though.]

does it make you uncomfortable, having other people rely on you like that? needing you to give them a reason to keep living?

i'm coming over in a bit. couple minutes, tops.

[It irritates him enough that he nearly doesn't want to answer. but they both know Reaper not answering this is the same as giving Dodger a fully thought out response.]

I've had enough men and women live for me and die for me.

I don't want to be responsible for anyone else.

we can't help what our lot in life is. seems like you're some sort of sentinel for people around you... even when you don't want to be.

even when you shouldn't be.

see you soon, boss.

[And with that, he's ceasing communication until he gets there.]
