Spirit: You are rooting for the bad damaged people that tarnished your life because you want to believe that having good intentions is enough at the end of the day?

Kat: They fucked up but I don’t want to watch them suffer since in their heart of hearts they thought they were

..doing the right thing. Wouldn’t you want the same lens applied to your actions?

Spirit: People know when they’re being dicks. You’re a dick when people deserve it.

Kat: I don’t know. Apparently I bullied a lot of pale kids in my day.
