"I know I should. I mean, I need to, right? But Mike, I just feel so stupid. I was so excited to go over there and tell Ryder that I finally managed to get a grip on my powers - that what we're doing is really working, and I just... wasn't expecting that. I didn't expect us to magically get back together as soon as I told him or anything; I don't even think I want that at all, but walking into his room and seeing him kissing Jake just wasn't part of the plan. Do you think...do you think he ever even cared at all? Was I just some cover story, or...or a way to try and make himself feel better about being in love with his best friend, or...Oh, God, I'm sorry, I can't - I shouldn't cry around you, I get all weird and snotty and it's so gross, I think it's even worse than seeing me lose control of my powers, which, I mean, I guess you've already seen that a lot, and you're still my friend, and yeah. Can we go somewhere, maybe? Um... like just to get ice cream or something? I just want to be as far away from the Zone as possible now, and you're the only person I really feel happy around anymore."
