[Carl]

It's cool, it happens. Feeling better?

[Tora]

A bit better. I just have a hard time remembering what I had only to end up losing it.

[Carl]

Try to remember that in order to lose it in the first place it can't have been what you thought it was. I know that's hard to do and it doesn't help at first, but it's true. There's two sides to it, and only when both see it as the same thing can it work. If both do see it as the same thing, it will work. If they don't, then it wasn't what it seemed to be to one.

Best to remember you can and most likely will do better. When? That's the hard part.

[Tora]

Yeah. It just hurts though. Sometimes I wish I could forget.

[Carl]

I know. Believe me, I know.

But it hurts less eventually.

[Tora]

I hope so. I know when I thought I found someone I was really happy again, but that didn't last.

[Carl]

That's normal, too. It'll pass as well. One day you'll be mostly okay just doing your thing.

[Tora]

I suppose.

[Carl]

I don't know if it ever gets completely better, though. People say it does, but I'll let you in on a little secret: in spite of my anger I still have the occasional relapse. It's nowhere near as bad as it was before, but it still happens.

Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage.

[Tora]

Well I don't want to be a rat in a cage.
