[cahooted]

I'm sorry, John.

I don't know what else to say, I wish I did.

Thank you for trying to stop me.

[jumpthegun]

[John considers how to answer this for a long time before actually replying.]

This place messes with our heads, Flynn. You don't have anything to apologize for. I'm just sorry I wasn't able to do a better job of it stopping you.

[cahooted]

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

Thank you. Peter said something like that. I guess I know, too, at least rationally? I just have to get there.

[jumpthegun]

Yeah. Be vigilant for the next time, too. They might try to mix things around to confuse us again. I might really be going mad next time with you and people with the red eyes being the sane ones.

[cahooted]

Well, we'll always have Mycroft.

[In retrospect, that had been kind of funny.]

I should probably stay away for a while. Try the quarantine thing. I hurt a lot of people and I don't know what will come of it.

[jumpthegun]

[ John doesn't particularly want to think about Mycroft or his lunacy. ]

If you're staying away, please find someone else without the lines to stay with. Being alone right now isn't going to help.

[cahooted]

Yeah. Not gonna lie, that's pretty much the last thing I want right now. But I don't want to make this worse. I'll see if I can find someone.

[jumpthegun]

There are plenty of people without the lines, at least. I'd say Mycroft, but... yeah, I wouldn't wish him on anyone. I'm sorry for comparing you to him.

[cahooted]

It's fine. I'm not sure if you were really that far off anymore. I was so into my own skewed logic it's like I couldn't even see anyone else's point.

Maybe I could try and keep an eye on him but I don't know if I trust myself with any tasks right now.
