I think I know myself better than you do. [ To Jeff, though it doesn't seem to care either way if it gets an answer: ] What do you think, rockstar?
[ And now Past-Jeff moves closer, zeroing in on Athena, gaze focused like a predator's. ]
Awww... You like to act tough, but you're just a scared little girl, aren't ya? Afraid everyone's gonna turn their backs on you, turn you out on the street again. [ The apparition jerks a thumb in Jeff's general direction. ] So you cling to this loser.
Two perfect fuckups! What a pair!
[ Jeff's trying to keep his breathing steady, trying not to freak out too much because the longer Past-Jeff talks, the more real he seems. He squeezes Athena's hand, an assurance to the both of them that he's still here. ]
Just don't talk to it... It'll go away.
[ Advice for himself and for Athena. The apparition scoffs. ]
Oh yeah, and that worked out so well for you before. [ It taps the crook of its elbow and winks, like it's being cheeky. ] You know the only thing that'll work.
