Yeah. I just--it's the only hope I've got, right? If there's even a chance, I--there still has to be a chance. I have to believe that.

[But now she just feels like shit. Only... wait a second.]

Whiskey, what's wrong with your nose?

Dubyah...

[ He starts- frowning as he wipes at his nose. Blood- shit. ]

Musta popped a vessle when they called me about 'my wife'. Why'd you tell 'em McCoy was your last name?

Sorry.

[Well, look at her, just making everyone's life hard.]

They told me Wrath wasn't a real name and I had to make up a different one. I... kind of panicked.

You had a whole fake name right there. Jane Doe! THat's a name. I mean I'm flatterd you thought of mine but- why tack it on to the usual 'jane doe'?

Also what kinda bullshit Customer Service don't take 'wrath' as a name?

I don't know, they said I have to have a family name? And I don't have one of those.

Oh. I... didn't know that. Is the Doe family nice? Do they know I'd be using their name?

Wrath, sweetheart- Jane Doe is a common name given to someone that don't got one of their own and can't be identified.

...

Also I'm sure the DOe family in disrict 3 won't mind at all.

Oh. I didn't know that.

Doesn't it get confusing, though, if there are lots of people with the same name running around?

...Dubyah that name is usually given to dead people that no one can identify.

...why do I have a dead person's name?

People. Multiple. Not as big a problem anymore since the ports but back in the day it was hard to identify some people.

And I dunno, Dubyah.

Maybe cause I'm supposed to be dead.

Apparently it's still hard to identify people.

...Dubyah.

[ His face falls a little at that, jaw clenching. ]

Do you...do you resent me for try'n?

[Long pause.]

You didn't know what was going to happen. You thought I was going to come out in one piece.

[She tries to remind herself of that so she doesn't resent him.]

That ain't exactly an answer, Wrath.

[ Which in and of itself should be answer enough but some small, perverse part of his soul needs to hear it. ]

It means it wouldn't be fair if I resented you, right?

So I have to try to be fair.

Life ain't fair. Feel'ns ain't always fair. But they're honest.

I haven't said anything dishonest either.

What do you want from me, Whiskey? Do you want me to say that I wish I hadn't gotten scraped off the fucking sidewalk, and I wish you hadn't put me back together? Who are you going to report me to this time for having negative thoughts or whatever? Only it doesn't matter, because I'm already fucking unfit for everything.

Maybe it'd also be true to say that shit instead, but that wouldn't be kind, and it wouldn't be generous, and at least that part of me isn't broken yet.

...no one. I'm not-

[ He sucks in a sharp breath, letting it out slow. Jesus fucking christ. ]

Not gonna report you to anyone, Dubyah.

It wouldn't matter if you did.

[Nothing about her life matters any more.]

But a kind and generous person wouldn't say that shit, so I'm not going to. I'm going to keep doing my best. And I'm going to pretend that it fucking matters, since morale is important. Okay?

Your morale is just as important as anyone else's, Wrath.

I don't have a job to do. [So no, in her estimation, it really isn't.]

But it's okay. Orion and Maine and Jellybean keep me cheered up.
