Theoretically.
But if you don't know there's anything wrong, how can you be sure?

Still, it sounds like his spell was thoroughly broken.

[runningstart]

ugggh god dont say spell

[performance]

What? That's what it was!

[runningstart]

IT WAS BRAINWASHING AND SENSORY MANIPULATION

[performance]

I was scrubbing dirt off me for 45 minutes!
I cut my cheek on a branch!

[runningstart]

what can i say the guy is good at what he does

[performance]

I'm not having this argument.
It's a stupid argument.

I'm glad you're okay.

[runningstart]

look

[runningstart]

im sorry about what i said

and for tackling you


i was kind of out of it
i mean i was sorta in but still i was sorta out also

[performance]

It's okay.
It wasn't your fault.

And you weren't entirely wrong.

[runningstart]

even if i wasnt the way i said it made it wrong

[performance]

What did you mean?
When you said I didn't get how close you were.

[runningstart]

i dont
want to talk about it

but if you wanna know ill figure out how to say it

[performance]

You don't have to, and I won't get bent out of shape if you don't.
But it would mean a lot to me.

30 min later

[runningstart]

i was

really close to doing anything he asked
even the bad stuff

[runningstart]

because i was convinced he knew how i could save myself

[runningstart]

i dont wanna think about how close i was

[performance]

[ There's a pause on Robin's end as well. ]

But you didn't.
Even when other people were willing to go that far for less, you didn't.

[runningstart]

it was just a matter of time

[runningstart]

i always thought i was better than that

[runningstart]

i guess its just a wake up call

[performance]

I've been thinking about this stuff a lot lately.
Do you want to know what I believe?

I don't think most of us are just "better than that" because it's in our nature.
I think doing the right thing is a conscious and intentional set of choices we make every time we go out.

So you had a wake up call. All that means is you woke up.

[runningstart]

i dont know what that means

[runningstart]

if im not as good as i thought i was thats a serious problem robin

[performance]

Wally, I know it's serious. I can't imagine how scary that must be.

Do you think you'd do it again?
After coming to that realization?
