So you'll tell me if your arm gets off since you can't hide that, but will presumably still hide any injuries that aren't obvious.
[ although maybe expecting to be told about that kind of thing is...unfair? maybe that is asking too much. it's not like he also didn't know karkat would hide that sort of thing from the get go, so is it actually fair to expect him to let dave know when he's hurt? it's kind of like how he's pretty sure telling karkat he wanted to date openly someday was Unfair.
...it probably doesn't matter. he drops the argument. ]
Forget about it, that doesn't matter. Just keep doing what you want. About the thing we were talking about before: it's not going to fuck us over if I say nothing, but it might if I do. Look, just - I guess I kind of had some stupid idea that things would happen for the right reasons eventually and I know we kind of already fucked that over so it won't be a thing but if I actually say it flat out it's going to be for sure 100% never gonna happen like that. And I will hate myself. I mean, I already do. But I have absolutely no right to say the things I think.
[ that sounds more like resignation because it...is. he won't ask karkat to tell him the truth about anything in exchange for the truth he doesn't want to say. he's filing it under "shit i am probably wrong to want" and locking it away with everything else. ]
But it's only fair if I tell you I'm unhappy, right? Yeah. Okay. That's true. I'm happy sometimes? But sure, some stuff hurts.
