[Considering their usual conversations consist mostly of competitive banter, it's a little surprising when she sympathizes with him, even if it's in a sarcastic kind of way. Making a kind of hum in his throat, he shrugs his shoulders, eyes down.]

Yeah. It was a lot to deal with out of nowhere, you know? Maybe if I'd known what was coming I could've prepared but...well. I survived. Kind of. Mostly. Ish.

[Another shrug, and he licks his lips, still avoiding eye contact.]

My call, I guess. I tried to break up with her, and I couldn't follow through, not for more than a few days. We ended up back together for half a day and then I died. So. My call on both counts there. But I mean, I broke up with her because I could tell she was in love with someone else. She just hadn't really realized it yet.
