Nah. I think there’s only one way outta this and we all know it.
Or I at least thought we all did.
But that’s the problem with words like ‘we’ or ‘us’ and ‘them’. What we? What us? What them? Sasha, my best mate someone I would have taken Jane Prentiss to the face for, someone I--
She was someone else for months! She had died a fucking year ago and we didn’t know it.
And don’t get me started on Jon and how he changed. Guess it’s just my turn.
Tim, I know I'm not Sasha and I never will be, but you're not all on your own. We're still a team. Do you really think she'd want you to be like this? If she was still here you wouldn't have given up on her.
We don’t know what she would have wanted or didn’t, Martin. That’s the point. We can’t trust what we thought of her. We can’t ever trust those memories again and this fucking place did that to us.
Right. Okay. I don't know, Tim. I know you think I'm stupid for wanting things to go back to some kind of normalcy. I know there's no going back to the way things were. But can we maybe, I don't know, build some new bridges so we can move forward?
I trust myself! I don’t trust my memories, Martin! Two different things.

I don't know, but I think we need to do it together. Don't you? Slacking off at work might be an annoyance, but it's not going to do any actual damage to the Institute. I'm not saying you should stop doing what you're doing, but we'll accomplish more as a group.
