you've reached Alex Kralie. leave a message maybe i'll get back to you

text | audio | video | carrier-pigeon

why?

I think its been 'later' for a while now

i'm a film director who got in over his head and now everyone i know has to pay for it

[Damn it, Alex, if she has to play therapist for you she will. If only because he's too stubborn to talk to a professional.]

because of that memetic thing?

and you feel like it made you dangerous?

It's better not to talk about it.

[You never know when something might be listening.]

Alex... we've been ignoring this for way too long. Ok?

wouldn't if i didn't have to
i barely told you anything and that was enough for me to go off on you

so what? ur gonna live here with an axe over your head?

you dont have to fight this alone

i'd rather not end up trying to kill the next person i choose to confide in

[Well... maybe he has a point about that...]

Alex I don't know what to do anymore.

its not your job to worry about it
its mine

but Im your friend so of course I want to help you

well you can keep chloe from shooting me until i actually do something

[He's mostly joking, but mostly...not.]

I think I've got that covered..

..Is there anything else I can do? You just have to tell me.

Take care of yourself Max

[Whether that's a farewell or a request is...up in the air, honestly. He's not even sure himself.]

Only if you promise to do the same. Really promise.

Got it?

i'm trying my best

[Urgh, this is hard. She really feels for him, and she wishes she didn't have to push him.]

ok ok...

Theres a new therapist around. Maybe you'll be more comfortable with them.

And im always here if you ever need or want to talk. I swear. please dont ever hesitate to text me.

i know
its not a question for comfort
i don't wanna be the reason i go after anyone else

theres always some risk in helping and being helped :(

not like this
i'm not gonna be responsible for this thing spreading any further

[This seems like the hundredth time she's going to say this to him, but...]

Alex there's nothing here...

believe me when i say i'm not gonna be the one to take that risk

[She can't decide if he's stubborn or scared. Maybe both.]

ok ok

im trying to understand

I hope that i can help you somehow soon

Yeah.

[He'll leave it at that. He needs help, there's no question of that. He just doesn't know how to get it without endangering everyone else.]
