I never said it was stupid. I'm not trying to make you feel like getting angry at this situation is stupid of you at all. I'm angry too, you know? And I know it's not easy to make that go away. I don't even really think it should go away.
We're not even talking about it anymore! I'm just - telling you your feelings are valid and trying to understand why you're mad at me! I still don't even get what I did the time before this when you asked me to leave you alone!

anyway, it's probably a good thing she's thrown her pillow already, because it'd definitely be sailing at him again for that. as it is, her fingers twitch, and she contents herself with gripping her blanket tightly instead.]
Because when you tell someone that has to try really hard to actually be kind and helpful and friendly that people said that's why they like her, it makes it really obvious that none of them would have liked me if they knew what I'm really like.
[she would, again, be throwing something if there was a pillow in easy reach. instead, she just turns away and pulls her blanket over herself.]
...You told me it makes you even angrier when people leave you behind. So I'm not leaving you. And I hope you know - having to work at it doesn't make your kindness or helpfulness any less appreciated. If it takes effort to treat other people that way... It's still impressive that you make that choice.
is rupert some kind of disney princess? is that what's happening here? why is he being so nice to her. she literally does not know how to deal with this.]

[someone please make this girl take a nap, eat some graham crackers, and drink some apple juice.]
...I said I don't want to talk about this. Why won't you just let it go.

I make that choice because I want people to like me, not because I'm actually kind. It's not that impressive.

she deliberately turns on read receipts so he can see that she's leaving him on read]

[he doesn't know how read receipts work,]
no subject
knowing things he doesn't is good for her ego.]
