I want to listen because I'm clearly not doing the right thing! And don't turn that into something else.

[sea_it_through]

That's still expecting me to do something for you.

Ah, forget it. I have better things to do.

[undesigned]

The problem is that I don't know what to do.

[sea_it_through]

That's truth.

[undesigned]

But it sounds like you have an idea of what you want me to do. And I'm not just saying—let's put a bandaid on this and make it all better.

[sea_it_through]

No, I just want you to stop being an asshole and thinking that just because you're wearing a stupid mask that you can get away with it.

[undesigned]

—What?

[sea_it_through]

Which part? I hope it wasn't the fact that your mask is stupid that comes as a surprise to you, because I thought everyone was in agreement with that.

My mask has nothing to do with anything. It had nothing to do with that day, and the only reason I still wear it around here is because I feel better having a purpose.

But it seems like you're ... reaching. So, instead of having you continue to do that, I'm gonna explain myself.

I was trying to be understanding. But I guess I misunderstood how sensitive of an issue it was for you, because I'm not the type who uses that stuff against other people. That's not me. And I didn't mean to make you think that, and I completely misread how you'd react, and for that, I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was actually a ... thing-thing, especially since you usually seem like you've got it together.

It had nothing to do with the mask or me trying to make a quip because I had it on, but I guess it seemed that way.
