A Certain Conversation

And who exactly is that?

Oh, no one important. Don't worry about them.

I'm worrying about them. Who exactly are they?

Seriously, they don't really matter. Your focus is best spent elsewhere.

No. I don't think you get it. I want to know who they are.

And I'm telling you it's not important.

Do you even know who they are?

I know enough.

What do you mean?

I know enough that I know their story and exactly what they're going to say.

Do you?

You think you're the first one with a bleeding heart to come around here? You think I haven't seen this exact scenario play out over and over again? I'm telling you. Don't get involved.

I don't care.

Your loss. Nothing you do will be enough, you know.

I don't care. I have to try.
