Cheers.

I know you two have capital-I Issues with Manuel, and that's fine. I can understand that. I don't like him very much myself, most of the time.

But if you could possibly find it in your hearts to avoid him, instead of driving him further and further down into the self-destructive and near-suicidal state he's digging himself into, I would very much appreciate it. You keep telling him to stay away from you - how about returning the favour before he starves himself to death? I don't fancy spending another night helping Marie clean up his room and wash his own vomit off of him just because you two can't manage to refrain from baiting him.

I know he hurt you both, directly and indirectly. I know he's a scary little shit who treats people like garbage.

This does not give EITHER of you an excuse. He wasn't born this big of a fuck-up, you know. He has his trauma, just like you two have yours, and if you can't treat him with an ounce of decency, even if that means never speaking or typing to him, then you need to get off your damned high-horses before somebody kicks you off of them.

You are both my friends, so I say this with the utmost respect and patience: Grow up, stopbeing such fucking hypocrites, and take the high road, or next time, my e-mail is going to Xavier and Frost. I am NOT doing this again.

Killing my classmates is bad, right?

I'm going to be stuck in Manny's room tonight, love. He's practically killing himself up here, so I'm on suicide watch 'til Marie gets back. He's.. Christ, he isn't in good shape at all. I know he's a prick, but it's my dad's fault, you know? I need to be here for him.

Fuck.

I'm gonna need you tomorrow, Sarah. Can we do something? Just hide in the basement or anything?

Angelo,

Ta.

It ain't solely your fault, mate. As sickening a thought as I'm sure it must sound like to you, try to put yourself in his shoes for a second. He's had his powers taken away from him. Besides Marie and I, nobody here seems to give a rat's ass whether he lives or dies, on a good day. He doesn't know who he is, emotionally, and has the maturity of a four year old when he doesn't have anyone else to base his own mental state off of.

The bloke's a fuck-up, to be sure, and he's screwed all of us over at one point or another. But it isn't his fault he's this fucked up. My father had some seriously nasty shit done to this kid, and I'd very much prefer if people would try to keep that in mind before encouraging him to take a flying leap off the roof with no safety net. I don't need that on my conscience, too.

Sorry for rambling, Ange, just.. yeah. Stressed.

Ta, again.
