[Mega would argue that there is no such thing as the right circumstances. His own kills are awful. He deserves to be in Hell for them. His anger comes from the refusal to kill for pettiness. He won't be reduced to someone else's weapon. Killing is a last resort, and even then only to prevent more killing. Necessary at times, but absolutely inexcusable even then.]
Honesty isn't a mistake. It's important to be honest with the people you care about. And if she's been lying to people then she needs to be honest with them too. That's what I need to fix. She needs help to be better with humans. And if she's not doing as well... That's my responsibility.
I'm not a human. Neither are you, bro. Neither is she. So how she treats us doesn't really impact how she's treating actual humans. In fact, I'm sure it's only us who have been on the receiving end of a pointy object in her hands...
[ He pauses, thinks of Hazel, and then amends. ]
....mostly sure. But anyway, point is, I don't want you to get involved on my behalf. If you're going to talk to her, do it for yourself and keep me out of it as much as possible. I just want to put this shit behind me, and I'm sure she does, too. Break ups are fucking....messy. Complicated. Like trying to get rid of a trojan virus, but it's embedded so deep in the hard drive that the pain keeps resurfacing. It's better to not think about it for a while.
[ His hand runs through his hair and he can feel the prickling of a glitch across his neck from all the tension of this -- though maybe it gives credence to the fact that emotions are like malware. He places his hand over his skin to hide the burst of pixels. ]
Y-yeah. I got a guy, a programmer here who can work on it. Maybe? Probably. I don't know. He'll be able to do something. Figure out a solution.
[ Even if it's just help him forget for a while. ]
In the meantime, if she shows up here, I'd appreciate it if you don't let her anywhere near me or my room for a while. Until I'm better.
[ He doesn't think Monika will -- but just in case, he's really not ready to face her. ]
It's good that you have someone that you feel like you can trust. I know they'll help you clean out your system. Does your medicine help with that too? I thought it was supposed to help with bad emotions.
[ the smoke was a little terrifying when they tried it before, but by the end it seemed to settle into the sensations that Technical initially promised. It's a slow-working repair, but it does its job eventually. ]
I'll do my best to keep you apart until you're ready. I'll make sure she doesn't come around anymore. If she wants to see me, I'll go to her instead.
You're a good boy friend as well. And I want to do everything I can to help you recover from your emotional overload. If there's anything you need, please let me know. I'll get it for you, no matter what it is.

[ Tech shrugs. ]
It's what I'm gonna try to do anyway.

Is there cleaner software you can run? You can't let a virus stay unchecked. It could hurt you really badly later on.

It helps some. I got a strong tolerance, so it's not as effective as it could be. But yeah, I'll definitely be using it.
[ And maybe harder things if it comes down to it. ]
But thanks, Mega. You really do make a great boy [ pause, period, full stop ] friend.
[ The curve of a smile edges his lips. ]
I just hope...
[ ...that Mega doesn't hate him when he finds out the truth. His words veer off and the smile turns sad. ]
I just hope for the best. For you.
