[but... he's still responding. quickly, too. he's obviously invested in this conversation. maybe part of him just wants count to say the right thing (not that he hasn't already) in the right way.]

FOUR DAYS LATER I'm sorry

Was the world not in peril before you embarked on your plan? Are you responsible for humanity's stupidity and irresponsibility?

What of your team? Those who followed you believed in your cause. They fought for it. Must you doubt their belief as well as your own?

ITS GOOD

[h2no]

well no but

they agreed to retool when i wanted to

[the replies are still fast, but not as strong as before. THE COUNT IS GETTING THERE.]

[dun_moch]

How noble of them, to continue following your desires. Even after you gave up on creating the better world you had promised for them.

[h2no]

they have their own lives
they made their own choice

[dun_moch]

Choices made under your guidance, yes?

[He says nothing more. This isn't the moment for a big speech, this is a moment to stand back and let Archie's own emotions work on him from the inside.]

[h2no]

[the reply takes a long, long time to come and when it finally does, it's just a pathetic:] yes

[dun_moch]

[Excellent.]

Think about what I have said, Archie. Don't make the mistake of throwing away your strength for the sake of correcting your errors.
