006 [AUDIO]

[Hello friends, please enjoy this cheerful British voice. Wheatley sounds especially cheerful today. What could he possibly be so happy about?]

So! I'm pretty sure Rick is--Rick is dead, which is great news, if you knew him. Went down to the bunkers, last I heard, didn't come back. Probably a good indication that he is--that he is, in fact, dead.

[Oh.]

It's all right, it's all right, go ahead, breathe that sigh of relief, no one's--no one's going to judge you, trust me, we all felt the same way about that tosser.

But, uh, if you were friends with him, for some ungodly reason that I can't possibly fathom, I'm, ah. Sorry for your loss. If you didn't know him, well, let's just say you're better off. Good riddance to bad rubbish, if you ask me.

I guess you could say that. I didn't think about that before. There's no repairing something that broken up.

Is that what happened to Rick? Did someone step on him and do him in? I bet it was a girl in those wedge shoes. Those always come out in the summertime with the fashion trends.

[testgasm]

I don't know, he just sort of disappeared into the bunkers, and I certainly don't care enough to go looking for him.

[liberatedempath]

Oh... Then he might still be alive, right? I mean, people have come back from there before and they were all right.

[She pauses.]

...Right?

[testgasm]

Uh, he's been gone for a while, so I'm gonna--I'm going to say dead.

[liberatedempath]

If we find the pieces of him, maybe we can put him back together. I bet he's in pieces.

[testgasm]

Why would you want to do that?

[liberatedempath]

Broken things deserve to be repaired.

[testgasm]

Not all of them.

[liberatedempath]

Many of them.
Including Rick.

[testgasm]

No, uh...no. Sorry. But thanks for playing!

[liberatedempath]

You have issues!

[testgasm]

No! I just don't like Rick! I'm allowed to dislike Rick!

[liberatedempath]

You are, yes, but I think you're taking it too far.

You'd rather him stay dead, then get help and become a better person. Wanting someone to stay dead is not that different from wishing them dead in the first place.

[testgasm]

Of course it's not! I wished that too, and if you really knew him, like I do, you'd agree with me.

[liberatedempath]

I still don't think it's okay. I'm willing to understand anger. I am.

[testgasm]

Well who needs your approval, anyway!? Not me, that's for sure.

[liberatedempath]

......

[This is the sound of her rolling her eyes.]

Yes, yes. I know. At least you're honest about your feelings.
