Yeah. I, uh, saw she could play the piano real good in one of those pictures.
[He looks at the grave thoughtfully, and then back at Aubrey.]
This girl I knew, Jane? She was a crazy good artist. She painted this big mural in her apartment, first time I saw it I nearly didn't think she made that.
They might've painted over it, since--well, she ain't coming back. And that sucks. It probably took her forever to finish, you know?
[Jesse isn't really sure what he's getting at telling Aubrey this. Maybe just that he gets it: it sucks when things change on you without your control, and it sucks even more when someone you love dies and all you have is things they left behind.]
[Jesus Christ. Jesse goes quiet for a moment with a dark frown. He understands a bit of what Aubrey must feel thinking of that--the night Jane died was right before they planned on leaving Albequerque for good and starting a new life together.]
It's always the things they never got to do, huh?
You got every right to be pissed off about it. Screw those church people.
[He wishes he could be more pissed off than just sad about what happened. Being pissed at himself just hurts.]
[It's... kind of to be expected, to at least some extent.]
That's how it happened in reality, anyway. Kel and Sunny found me while I was at Church and kept pestering me about the album. I tried to get them to leave me alone, but Kel opened his big mouth and practically announced that I stole it for everyone to hear.
[And while she may have taken things way too far in some ways, she's still not super pleased about that particular incident, judging from her tone.]
[He can't help a wry little smile at how quickly Aubrey calls her friend out.] Yeah, I got buddies who can't keep their mouths shut too. Had to jump a whole bunch of hoops to keep a guy outta trouble before.
[Badger and Skinny Pete are solid guys when it comes down to it, though.]
Sunny might need a shrink? Locking yourself up then pointing a knife at somebody ain't normal.

Yo, Aubrey! You ain’t hurt, are ya?! You got turned into a giant rabbit-thingy and—-
[Jesse sees the gravestone. Ah, so this is the person she was talking about before.]
…Mari musta been pretty cool, huh?
no subject
I'm- fine. Mostly.
[Probably? ...She'll have to check sometime when she's not crying in front of God and everyone.]
...Yeah. Mari... she was really amazing.

...They never did get to finish that piece. The day she died?
It was the day they were supposed to perform their recital.

[What gives them the right to make judgements on Aubrey's value based off of something like that?]
Damn. [Jesse scrunches his face quizzically at that.] So what, are they just kinda dumbasses? The knife stuff sounded real serious.

[It doesn't exactly paint a great picture of mental health.]
I wonder if he even talked to anyone after it happened?
