I found something I hate. All by myself.

I was talking to my brother about a friend who hurt his feelings, and I realized that I hate that he is still friends with someone who was treating him badly.

I don't like that person at all, even though nobody told me not to like him.


[And he is ridiculously proud of discovering such a strong preference.]

[In all fairness, Mega isn't entirely sure who it is either. He's got a name, but has never interacted with them aside from the network. He wouldn't recognize the person if he saw them. They're still awful though.]

Thank you! I agree that he needs better friends. He doesn't want to listen to me.

But what do I do now that I've figured out hatred? Do we celebrate with foods that are delicious but bad for us?

And we can also have talks?

Like the kind I would have with Elena?

[Constant talks, at all hours of the day. Elena was informed of every errant sneeze and every time a nightmare woke him in the middle of the night.]

Good. Because I'm also feeling like I might want to re-evaluate the boyfriend responsibilities I've promised to Monika. Elena said that was all right, if I thought things might need to change. But I'm not sure how to bring it up.

I am to report my location as often as possible, because these bodies lack GPS and she would have no way to track me otherwise. And I am to help her when she requests it, and provide companionship as well.

But it was brought to my attention that it might not be usual for multiple people to share boyfriend duties. And I think she's done harm to other boyfriends by keeping secrets. Elena said it would be all right to renegotiate the arrangement if something ever felt wrong.

I don't like that she hurt other people. That's wrong.

I want to understand, but I'm not sure that I do. Boyfriend and girlfriend is different to being married.

Maybe this should wait until I can see you.

[She's always pushing him to make choices, even small ones. It's so different than how things are with Monika.]

I like outside. My roommate says the outside isn't good here. But I like it. The air smells nice.

We can do that. It's pretty there.

[He's happy to join her, beaming at the sight of her. She's here and she's Josie and it's more of a relief than he thought it would be.]

I'm so glad you stayed.

[Does that make sense? He seems to be under the impression that it makes sense.]

I don't think so, but you're a good person. And good people don't stay in hell. I think that's why Elena left.

[ and he has no idea how to center himself without Elena. ]

Oh...

[ he might've continued to argue with anyone else. But Josie is one of the people who can explain everything. Her opinion matters more. ]

Then what decides who stays and who goes?

I'd trust God more than I'd trust Lucifer. He's got to be trustworthy if he's God, right?

And... So if Lucifer says that's how it is, he could be lying. But it's better not to rick it just in case he's telling the truth.
