i hate you

[He's said it to Alfie before. The next part is new, but probably not unexpected.]

i hope you get stuck here with him and everyone else gets out

[devoutish]

I could not care less what you think of me. I don't regret a single thing I've done to you.

[He does regret a few of the circumstances, but hey, there's no compulsion for full truth-telling here.]

[rubikscomplex]

what i think doesn't change the fact that you deserve this place
i want you to get so close
to almost get out
and fail
i want you to suffer for the rest of whatever miserable life you have left
i want you to keep hearing her voice
and i want it to kill you inside every time

[devoutish]

It does.

[And that does tumble out without him wanting it to. He needs to turn off the tablet.

But he can't. He needs to talk about them.]

I'm not your fucking father, House.

[rubikscomplex]

congrats
you can state the obvious
doesn't change anything i just said

[devoutish]

But it has to do with why you're saying it.

[rubikscomplex]

pretty sure you've done enough to me
to warrant this all for yourself, buddy

[devoutish]

And yet you've told me straight out that it's more than that.

[rubikscomplex]

did i say that?
doesn't sound like me

[devoutish]

Not to worry, mate. I'll keep reminding you.

[rubikscomplex]

sounds like you've got more of a thing about being my father than i do, boss
i mean
i know you're feeling lonely without your baby girl
but i'm not what you're looking for in a son

[devoutish]

Yeah. We'll talk later, I'm sure. Have a good night, Greg.

[rubikscomplex]

screw you

[He disconnects.]
