[ her actual intent had just been to expose them. renfro was the one who had lit the match, but she can't say it didn't feel good watching the place behind her darkest fears and nightmares burn once she'd made sure everyone trapped inside was set free. ]
i hope you're right. i had a lot of people telling me it was my responsibility whenever things went wrong because i was the one who let them out. and i know it was, and i know they'd probably rather have been free. i just wish i could have prepared them better.
i do. i'm not - i hate that i have to get signed to anyone. i don't think it would be any better if i were in the opposite position, i'd just have a nicer apartment and be able to shop or whatever whenever i felt like it.
you're a good person, max. i'm sure it's not much of a consolation, but seems to me like you did as much as you could. hindsight is a bitch when things go wrong, but you don't have it until it's too late.
yeah, i hate it too. maybe you'll get a chance to go home, apparently that happens.
( home for her isn't great, if this conversation taught him anything, it's that. still, doesn't take much to be better than here. )
until then... maybe a controlled fall is better than whatever they'd force you to do. you'll figure it out, i'm sure.
yeah, i guess. i guess i just wish i'd planned things better. the initial plan wasn't to get everybody out, just to go back home. but the initial time i thought i'd escaped turned out to be a set up, so i don't know. maybe there was never going to be a good way to do things.
[ it's not, and this place reminds her of the worst parts of it, which might have to do with why she's so resistant to following it's rules. but as bad as it is for her, it sounds even worse for him. ]
maybe i will. i just hope it's still there when i get back.
