[Not being the first is somehow even more upsetting to hear. Ange shouldn't have to be used to this, so familiar with getting hurt, that she can just brush it off. It's just stupid and unfair and Scott knows his jaw is clenching out of frustration. Not at her, just what she's dealt with.]

But it doesn't make it just okay. Right? I...

[But he stops himself, letting Ange continue with what she's saying. It's hard to keep quiet, because he wants to tell her that everything was god awful and that she's allowed to feel like crap. However, if she doesn't really feel that way, he can't really force her to. It's not like he wants his friend to feel upset and scared or whatever, he just... doesn't want her to shove her feelings down. Kotone does that all the time because she feels like she has to and Scott doesn't want Ange to feel the same. He wants to be able to do something.]

We don't know if that's what they want. [Besides, wouldn't that mean that he's been giving them what they want?? Like for the past week?? Fuck, don't think that way--] If you got hurt Ange, I'd still be upset and I'd still feel that way, even if I was playing into their stupid plan.

[He'll just blast them even harder later or something.]
