you never seem to give straight answers
so i guess we're even

[text]

[punful]

what do you want a straight answer on

you answered some of my questions

if you want this to be about equivalency, then i owe you

[text]

[postictal]

i don't care

look obviously you need this spelled out for you so i'll make it easy


you can't help me
you can't fix me
no amount of magic or medicine or luck or friendship will make any of it go away
there's no loophole for this one

it took me most of my life to learn that one
so just take my word for it

[text] 1/?

[punful]

[You can't fix me.]

[Seriously?]

[Seriously?]

fix you

is that what you think

[text] 2/?

[punful]

do you think i don't know what that looks like

do you think i don't know what it's like to have people try to fix you, over and over

how everyone has some tip or trick or piece of advice

just do this or do that and you'll feel better

just try harder. don't be so negative. just believe in yourself more.

you think i don't know what it's like to be some doctor's science project

you *get it*

we both get it

and you seriously think i'd do that to you?

you seriously

[think that little of me?]

[Of course, of course, of course he does. Why wouldn't he?]

helping is different from fixing

i'm sorry i don't know every little thing about a species i've known for a grand total of three years

i'm sorry i'm not willing to just ditch you because there's some weird ghost haunting you

i'm sorry for not wanting to risk max accidentally killing me next time i see something happening to you that scares me

tim i don't want to fix you

i know some things can't be fixed

i just want to help

and if i can't, then i can't

i'm very good at accepting when i can't do something

[text] 4/4

[punful]

and if that's the case, then the least i can do is just

be your friend

watch bad horror movies with you and jay and clem

that was a real question before, you know

just because i led with something stupid like that didn't mean it wasn't a real question

i just want to be normal friends

or at least as close to normal as people like us get




i'm sorry

[You're going to have to try harder than that.]

[text]

[postictal]

you come in here asking me about what the hell's wrong with me
pardon me for not being a fucking mind reader

but good to know this was all about your inability to accept when you can't help someone
makes me feel great

[text]

[punful]

that's not what i meant

i literally just said that's not what i meant

and i asked because i want to understand

[postictal]

clearly it needed repeating since ive been telling you you can’t help for the last ten minutes and you still haven’t gotten that through your fucking skull

why don’t you go ask max
you don’t seem to have any problems with giving her a nice long look at someone else’s medical issues

[punful]

why are you trying so hard to make me give up on you?

[postictal]

because you sound like every doctor i've ever met

[punful]

[Like every doctor he's ever met.]

[Like him.]

you really can't tell the difference between someone trying to fix you and someone trying to understand what's going on with you?

do you just

i don't know what you want

[postictal]

then i'll put it in terms you understand
fuck off

[punful]

[Long pause.]

fine. alright.

subject dropped

but i'm not giving up this time

so

i'll see you around i guess

[postictal]
