[nope, this is their lives now. casey's never going to ask that.]

you really dont see the difference between "i can't stop you" and "i agree and will cooperate" huh

[Casey doesn't have to ask, just be miserable with how Donnie is and he'll just do it.]

One just has fewer words, so it's more efficient.

[Time to start learning how to mask his own emotional responses!]

yeah that is super not it at all

[Casey, you cry at everything, that's not going to happen.]

I know. But I still stand by it.

[Now he's just being a jackass.]

[don't underestimate him!!! (it's true though)]

if it was efficient you wouldnt be having this conversation
april wouldnt have asked either

[WHY BRING UP APRIL.]

Hm, well... I don't like lying to April either.

[There you go, that's why. Because of April, he's even changed his mind.]

[gee i wonder

and that answer... feels suspicious. Casey pauses, staring at it for a long moment, brows furrowing. He... can't mean...]

so were you lying to me and sensei when you refused before?

No? I was being truthful then.

[Just he told April he was going to accept help and shit, so if she finds out the truth he'll be in so much trouble.]

if you already agreed why did you fight me over the compromise idea? i thought youd like it better
since theyre not "family"

I don't want to put that kind of stress on Leo.

[That's the honest truth.]

~~so its okay to~~

[....
this isn't about him.
it isn't about him.]

"i cant stop him" is more efficient than "i already agreed to juniors inane plan", you know.

[Quoting April's quote. Yeah. ("Inane". Inane.)]

[He never told Casey to do this, in fact he told him not to!!!!!]

It was better than calling it insane.

[ and yet.

also, like. is it?? is it better. ]

not rly what i was focusing on but
insane from you would almost be a compliment

[ not... not that. ]

[He is purposefully avoiding Casey's actual points here.]

Not really, and you know it Junior.

[yeah. yeah, he's getting that message. along with the rest, and the avoidance, and.]

sure.
ill thank april for convincing you then.

You don't need to do that.

[Because April did no convincing, he just lied to her.]

[ it's like this guy can't wait to break a kid's heart. ]

why not

Because she didn't exactly do anything yet?

[May as well be truthful, it's just the pure Aprilness that got him in this situation.]

[Casey doesn't answer immediately, staring down at the message, scrolling up a bit to re-read. He goes through every message, the conversation he had with April, the ones he had with his uncle. What he knows of the both of them, their relationship.

....

oh.]

you lied
