without derek, it's like, what do i do now? i'm not good with doing well on my own. i can do that, i mean, just it feels like i do better if it's someone else telling me what to do.
and anyway, i care about him. he's all i got.
[ not too true, though - but in its own way, derek is all that matters. isaac would die for him, no questions about it. ]
[ it's another moment before the rest comes, because that is telling. because isaac has this look to him, the one that knows the difference between living and survival- and hayley realizes there's a little more complexity there than she thought. ]
does it bother you that i'm asking all this stuff?
not really. it's nice when someone actually cares enough to ask about things.
[ it's revealing, and isaac realizes it belatedly, but on the other hand - it's also nice to be honest. even monsters can be honest, can't they, and lying to everyone all time - doesn't that ever get exhausting? ]
