edward nigma's melodrama power hour

[crownotcrane]

Not many people come to see him willingly, so naturally, when someone actually wants to be in his hideout, he'll entertain them mostly out of pure curiosity (one of the only things that hasn't deadened over time is he just very depressed and burned out and mentally ill and never really addressed that, maybe so).

But when Edward describes the reason for his visit (or, more accurately, Jonathan drags it out of him by bits and pieces), he can't help but stare incredulously.

"You're doing this because a woman rejected you."

It's not particularly unfamiliar to him, though he'd rather die than admit it, but that was when he was a teenager, and neither of them are teenagers.

He sounds, as it happens, unimpressed. But he's not kicking Edward out, so it's probably a start.

Tolerance isn't an emotion, Jonathan.

[He slumps down a little more.]

I don't know.

For you to tell me I'm right and I should be feeling horribly about everything?
