[ She's sitting crosslegged on the bed in Dave's otherwise empty room. ]
No, it's not. I've died plenty of times before. I'll come back just fine here.

Well, yeah. I KNOW that.
It's just.
Do you think you'd be able to answer quickly if I asked you to kill me?
[A pause.]
Actually, nevermind. I don't want to know the answer.

[ Except she's answering anyway. ]
If I knew it was only a temporary death, and it was to stop you from hurting people? Yes, Karkat, absolutely.

[ That's enough to make her relax visibly, to smile. ]
Why would I come back a ruined mess in the first place?

I don't know! It's just that I helped someone else when they came back and they...
Well, the circumstances were shitty.
But I think the circumstances here will be pretty fucking shitty too! I just don't...
It's fine. You have better sense or whatever.

Well excuse me for worrying!
Yes, you're fine. You're one of the most capable people in this hive, maybe even this city!
It doesn't mean I'm not going to worry about it or anything. You're my friend Jade.

[ And the way she lights up at that compliment is absolutely, completely authentic. It's been a long time since she's felt useful. ]
You're my friend, too, Karkat. I'm happy to hear that.
[ - then she deflates, just a little: ]
Dave's gone.

He left again? I didn't really say much to him this time around.
Still, sucks for you huh? Sorry.

It's okay. I'll see him again someday.
[ Biting her lip. >| ]
Movie tonight?
