Pity for the Insane

They Don't Really Care

"My god, you're such a fucking garbage fire!"

"You're the one talking, ya cunt!"

"Talk to me like that again, and I'll eviscerate you!"

"Don't make promises you can't keep!"

"I'll fucking kill you!"

"Try it!"

Anti grinned as the verbal fight went on between him and Jackie. He seemed to have bumped into him again and afterwards, their rivalry for one another grew to dangerous heights once again.

Anti couldn't say he didn't enjoy it. Seeing Jackie so engulfed in rage and disgust. It was so unlike him usually.

Unless he was in Anti's vicinity, of course.

"Alright, alright! Knock it off already!" Henrik walked up to try and stop them from fighting but Anti was having too much fun with this.

"Always the good guy until it comes to me, huh!?" The glitch laughed in his face, "You must hate me so fucking much! Such a hypocrite!"

Jackie shoved Henrik away, "You think you're any better than me?! You've tried to kill us so many times before! You're nothing but trash!"

"Well I don't see anyone jumping in to agree with ya"

Jackie snorted, a bit calmed down after that comment. Staring into Anti's eyes as if he couldn't believe he just said that, "Pft . . . . You really think they're on your side?"

"Jackie-" Marvin tried to butt in but Jackie wasn't about to let this go. What was Anti thinking?

"No . . . . no. Where do you think Chase is right now, Anti? If he actually cared about you, wouldn't he be down here, too, trying to defend you?"

"Jackie, enough." Henrik tried to stop them again, "You vill just agitate things further!"

But Anti wasn't stupid. He knew in the back of his mind . . ..

"None of us give a FUCK about you, Anti! Once a murderer ALWAYS a murderer! None of us trust or care about you and that's all on you! You're nothing but a cold-hearted monster!"

Jameson signed aggressively, 'That is enough! You cannot speak for all of us!'

"Oh, so you all want to lie now? It was just the other day we all were talking about how we hate him and now you all want to shove that conversation aside like it never happened?"

Anti's grin faded off . . .. slowly turning into a frown.

'What? . . . . They all really . . . no, no. That can't be right. Chase cares . . . . he always has. Right?'

Jackie continued his verbal assault, "And if you think Sean cares about you at all, you have another thing coming. The only reason he hasn't killed you off yet is because he doesn't know how!"

"Jackie, stop it! That's enough!" Marvin threw a spell at him, effectively shutting him up and turning him mute.

They were all on edge.

They tried to just explain that to Anti.

But after that particular conversation, Anti couldn't explain how much pain he was in or why.

And instead of telling Henrik about it, he merely went back up to his room.

'Who cares what hero says anyways. It's like Marvin says, right? Sean hasn't let any of us out for a while. We're just all uptight. He hasn't forgotten about any of us. He hasn't forsaken us.'
