Let's just say I was really good at deluding myself into thinking you hated me more than you cared. But that was never the case, was it?

[It feels empty to Vriska too. It's a void she doesn't want to be there, though even if this hadn't gone south like this, John would have probably had a problem with it anyway. Still, she thought that they'd finally found the quadrant that could work for them, but it turned out to be just as big a failure as the last one. And had ended much the same. Fizzled away into nothing.]

There's nothing I have to take responsibility for here, Kanaya. You're the one who couldn't keep your feelings straightened out. I'm starting to doubt you ever actually hated me in the first place. If anything, you could say you were stringing me along! Again.
