That was a mistake. [You of all people should know how much of a pitiful failure he is, Karkat. And the beautiful thing is, it's not even a matter of wanting to fix it or not, either, it's just... well, can he do it himself? No. He can't. He's a hideous failure at seeing and repairing his own problems, and he is perfectly aware of this. But at the same time he doesn't want to accept help from anyone else for stupid, arbitrary reasons. Problems, contradictions, and holy hell, DUALIITY. Look at that.]

[He steeples his fingers, setting the Gear down in front of him. Dealing with it... yeah, hasn't he been trying that? Look how well it's worked out. So well.]

[Ohhh here it comes. Sollux's head lolls forward, so that his forehead rests on his fingers. He sighs.]

Fuck it all. Fuck it all, I don't know what to do. Oh, goddamn. Sollux Captor can't make a decision. That's breaking news right there...
