[ It's more pessimistic than Ange has been in a while, but-- well, can you really blame her, when she was just confronted with the worst possible scenario? When she still can't really move past it, get over it? ]
I'll make sure to be more careful though. I don't know if it'll help.
I just don't want to do that to anyone again. I don't want to do it to you again either.
Even if it was just an annoyance, I'd still want to keep you from having to repeat that.
[ And it might have been more than that. Ange doesn't have a clue about Michael's feelings, but she's dealt with friends while they were corrupted - or worst, an outright Beast - before.
'It wasn't fun' is a good summary of her own experience. ]
Tell me if you ever see just a slight possible sign of it on me. I'm going to see someone for it right away next time.
[ So she can hopefully catch it before it horribly spirals out of control again. That's the plan.
He deletes it without sending. Michael's not sure how Ange feels. He doesn't want her to think that was all just nothing to him...but it seems worse, he decides, to guilt her more.]
Yeah, of course. Mine is...well, it's happened a couple different ways for me, which is very irritating. But if I get really weird and energetic, or all reclusive, probably a bad sign.
Can it really behave in such opposite ways for you?
[ Not that she's doubting Michael's word - not during such an important conversation, anyway.
It's just a little surprising, and more than that just plain concerning. It's one thing to look out for one type of behaviour, but it seems like it can truly just manifest as anything as long as it's out of the norm, huh. ]
I guess? The only time I turned into a beast was when I shut myself in my house and didn't talk to anyone for like two weeks. The mania, I just grew horns, and then eventually I chilled out.

It wasn't fun, but I'm really not the one who got the worst of any of that.
[Michael's never been one to hold grudges long. Now that she's apologized, he'll get over it.]

[The beast form didn't even have horns, so ???]
