What's this? You finally breaking down from all the crap I've been giving you?
Pearson
Crap? still looking sad
Yeah, all the shit I put you through. Did you think it was funny, huh? Making you cry like some pathetic little loser? snickers Well, guess what?
Pearson

Pearson
... thank you
takes a deep breath Listen, Pearson, I know I've been a complete asshole to you. And I don't expect you to forgive me right away. But I want to change.
Pearson
