03: do you regret anything?
"wow, that’s... that’s quite the question, isn’t it?” and that’s not quite an answer, they’re quick to realize. “i mean, the only good answer is no, but i don’t think that’s true. as much as i’d love to say that i don’t regret anything, i regret a lot of things. i regret things that i did, and things that i didn’t do, and things that other people did, and things other people didn’t do. but the thing about regret is that there’s nothing productive about it. you can’t change what did or didn’t happen in the past, you know? whether you regret it or not, there’s no point in dwelling on it.”
52: do you believe everything happens for a reason?
"no.” the answer comes too quickly, too short and too sharp, to feel right in his mouth. it feels like it goes against their nature to shut something down so quickly, but it’s true. “i’m sure that some things happen for a reason — like me finding the killer conclusions cd in the first place, i think there was probably a reason why that happened... even if i don’t know what it is yet. but the fact that they died in the first place? or the fact that rafa died, or my dad... i don’t know, i don’t think there was any reason for all of that. sometimes there’s a reason but sometimes bad shit happens for no reason at all.”
69: do you believe in soulmates?
for some ( silly ) reason, the question makes tito want to flush. a soulmate? for them? somehow, it doesn’t seem likely. and yet... “i mean, it would be nice, wouldn’t it? to think that out there... somewhere... there’s someone perfect for you, just waiting for you to spend your lives together?” an almost dreamy sounding sigh escapes his lips despite himself, but they’re quick to reign it back in. “i don’t know. maybe. but if ghosts are real, why not soulmates, too?”
