I mean Red, [He grumbles- he's slowly learning to push past Viridi's bluntness. He can adapt! Or at least pretend to be unaffected. He'll sulk about it more later.] For a long time when we were kids, he came and parked his butt up here on the mountain, avoiding everyone. Went through his own moping phase.

Well, it was my fault, though. So if you wanna call it a complex, I guess you're not wrong.

[Being up here kind of helped him feel closer, in a way. Sure, it wasn't any less pathetic... But not comparing himself to Red, now that was an impossible ask.]

Ahhhh.... Don't worry. I'll get over it eventually. I just need to miss other people more than I miss him.

Why're you bothering to talk all this out with me, anyway? Is lowly, mortal drama more interesting than whatever else you could stir up?
