[Not all of this is news to Doppio. He has known that the Boss struggled to trust his surroundings or Doppio or reality at first. It doesn't make it easier to hear, however - and before he can interject, there is more and more spilling from the Boss's mouth, each word worse than the last.]

You've got it all wrong--

[But it still won't stop. The Boss thinks Trish is his purpose? Again, he tries to interrupt - to be more precise, the sentence forming on his lips is "That's stupid" - but there's MORE, and-- children?? Doppio's brow furrows.]

Wha...

[Targeting him from the beginning? That's--

Silence. Can he finally say something?

He can?

Okay.]

I don't know what the fuck you're going on about! Look-- [The laptop threatens to slip again. He huffs.] I don't know how Trish does it either, but I didn't... pledge my loyalty to her or whatever you think I did! You're my purpose, idiot!

[wait. wait he didn't mean to say that last part. at least not like that. uhhhhhhhh]

W... Wh-when were we kids, anyway?
