[looking at her nails, which she probably has messed up the nice polish.]

Something's wrong with me, I think. I'm cursed.

[fending]

[ does she look cursed... ]

Cursed how?

[sacredpath]

[she doesn't.]

I feel insecure and worried about things that shouldn't matter. It's infuriating.

[fending]

...Sorta thought that was part and parcel of bein' a person, but looks like I stand corrected.

It just started outta nowhere?

[sacredpath]

Maybe it is.

[but it shouldn't be???]

It started today. I'll do something that's perfectly ordinary, and then after I feel... just terrible about it.

I wish I knew why.

[fending]

What sort of ordinary things are we talkin' here?

[sacredpath]

Just... everyday things, nothing even remarkable enough to talk about.

[fending]

If it's not that remarkable there's no reason not to talk about it when someone's askin' either, is there?

[sacredpath]

For the most part, it's... worrying that I've hurt someone's feelings.

[cringe.]

I'm not usually so sentimental about it.

[fending]

Oh. [ hm. ] It's not just 'cause you sort of like the person you think you made feel bad so now it actually matters, right?

I mean, I assume not, with a sudden onset like that, but.

[ as a reformed antagonist with sarcastic tendencies, got to ask. ]

[sacredpath]

[that's not exactly it, but it's not entirely off base, either. it at least seems to make her realize he's not wrong, but that's troubling.]

...Maybe. Maybe I do like them.
