[Prefect wouldn't just by random coincidence ask for Sam over the journals, so I'm going to say that he was going to see Sam to ask him for something completely irrelevant and found the room empty. No crossing out in the writing because he did it all in his head first, and no, he's not mentioning that this was brought on by Sam leaving.]

Comrades! Consumers! Is not progress the most beautiful of all things? And are we few? We united and divided few not elevated to the most supreme and final conclusion of this progress? Is this not the route to enlightenment? Do not despair for absence is the inevitable, those we think we can depend on are not our friends but our competitors, those who have discovered the currency with which to purchase freedom from progress and return to history. Comrades, when the world gives you what you want you don't care about those you promised not to leave behind! Comrades, when we give you what you really want? You won't care who you leave behind either.

So don't sit around screaming at the Barge or The Admiral or each other over the absent friends and lost lovers you just assumed would always be there? Instead observe this decay as incentive, The only things that you cna keep are the things that you own, not the things you love or the things you think you mean or the things you think love you, only the great eternal product, the purchase, the item, COMRADES! This is the end! This is how it is concluded! And getting better or caring more or suffering more WILL NOT SAVE YOU! So fill your death with the things that will. The things you get to keep, the things that don't stay with you under the pretence of love, but rather the honesty of ownership. Comrades, let us never again affect, but rather amass! Let us forget the decaying ideals that keep betraying us and move forward to buy, posess, contain, and rejoice in the constant, because the gods are dead and the last of them walked out of here weeks ago and everyone will leave you.

Comrades, this is the universes entire selling point, if you depend on the things you can keep you will die with nothing. This way? My way? At least it's a kind of nothing you can hold in your hand.

No more than I care about anyone else. He's not the first person to leave here.

Then you didn't care that I left? Or Joker?

What if Harvey left?

Hervey isn't you. He isn't Joker.

He isn't leaving.

Sure.

Look, it doesn't matter, even if you did. It makes sense to want to leave here. It's okay.

I'm not upset.

I wanted to leave, yes. I wasn't given a choice though. I tried to kill myself, passed out, and woke up in Stephen Canfield's house in California. I didn't choose anything.

If you don't believe me, you and I being friends might not work so well.

I didn't say you were lying! I was just saying that I don't mind if someone chose to leave.

If you want to be friends then why are you always looking for things you can hold against me?

Private - Prefect sadfaces you :c

What, you need me to trust you so badly, but you won't do the same thing for me? I shouldn't have too tell you anything.

...

Of course I believe you, Comrade.

I trust you. I'm sorry.

I.. You know my history, some of it. When I went back, I found out more. My dad.. my real dad? He killed the woman I thought was my mother. He sold me to my real mother and left. I went back to see what could have happened with Elle, found out she lied to me about everything. Again. Everyone I have trusted in my real life-- everyone has lied to me, betrayed me.

It's hard to trust again.

You don't trust me though, do you brother? Not really. It's all right. You don't have to be able to trust me, I don't require that kind of emotional investment from you.

It's all right.

Just as long as I can know where I stand.

Stop.. calling me that.

I want to trust you, Prefect. I'm trying. I want.. I want to be your friend. Like Harvey. I want to be better.

I know. That's fine. You don't have to be perfect, Comrade. We are friends. Not Harvey, just like... just like you.
