You.

[dawn_is_breaking]

.....

what?
Are you being serious?

[alaazul]

Come on, Dawn.
You said it yourself, didn't you?

Haven't I thought about us once you told me you ended things with Hank? That's what you asked me, right?
You already knew then. Don't act so surprised now.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I had hoped but I didn't know, not for sure.



I want you too.

[alaazul]

We can't.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Why not?

[alaazul]

I already told you why, and you know the rest.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Because you have to stay on top of everything and not have fun?

[alaazul]

Yeah. And because you don't like that. You don't like how I am.

The rest is that I need to keep the team together.

[dawn_is_breaking]

That's not true, I didn't like who you were becoming back then. But you're not that anymore.
You're something new.
And so am I.

What do you mean by that?

[alaazul]

There's enough of me that's still the same.

You know what I mean, why do you need me to say it?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Those are the parts I'll always love.

Because I need to know what you mean so I don't twist things up in my mind.

[alaazul]

But that wasn't enough, was it?

This isn't just about you and me. We need all of our team. If there are feelings of anger and betrayal, this isn't going to work.

[dawn_is_breaking]

It would have been if you hadn't lied to me.

I understand what you mean but I think that's an excuse, you're getting stuck on the old team which you said wasn't the point of coming back to the tower.

[alaazul]

I do what it takes. That part of me hasn't changed much either.

The point is that I need everyone and I don't want the kids to be involved.

[dawn_is_breaking]

You seem very set on me not liking who you are now, when I do. You're a good teacher and mentor to these kids.
I like seeing that in you.

[alaazul]

That's not what I'm set on. I'm just being realistic.

I have to keep doing what I'm doing now. That's the goal and I need you to understand that.

[dawn_is_breaking]

So you want me to understand that you want me, and I want you, but we can't do anything?

[alaazul]

Yeah.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Come tell me that to my face then.

[alaazul]

I don't think that's a good idea.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Why?

[alaazul]

Because we're both emotionally on edge right now, and I'm trying to be smart about it.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Is that smart or is that being afraid?

[alaazul]

I'm gonna go with smart.
It has nothing to do with being afraid.
