[The silence stretches on like it's Mr. Fantastic. Not that trolls have a Mr. Fantastic. Superheroes, to trolls, are a stupid thought, and no one would ever even dream up such a stupid idea. In fact, you feel dumber for even thinking of the idea. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

But you have nothing left to say. You can't think of anything. Your mind is a gigantic blank right now. You barely understand what just happened, but you're sure it's your fault. And now, you're stuck here alone.

With him.

Fuck.]

From:

[There's a long pause as you think it over. You immediately want to jump out and scream 'of course you can't'. You can't deal with that. If that happens, it will only confirm what you've known all along.

But you have to wait. Wait for the human- Wait for Dave to speak first. Because if what you believe is true, then there's nothing left for you. You'll have to just give up.]

From:

From:

[And that, right there, told you everything you didn't want to know. You are the one in the way of Terezi's happiness. It's what you've known all along: You aren't good enough. You can't make her happy. You don't belong in any group. Maybe you don't even have a true soulmate for your quadrants- it would make sense, like this. You don't belong anywhere, this was all just a great mistake, a quirk of fate that let you try to have happiness with someone else's fated matesprit before they met. And then serendipity brought those two together, meaning there's nothing left for you.

So what can you do? You can object, and this will go nowhere, and you'll be the obstacle in front of her happiness. Or you can let it go, let Terezi have this, and... then what? You'll just have to bottle everything up until you hit your breaking point. And then... who knows. You will be miserable the whole time, but which way will make you worse?

You can't bear to make Terezi unhappy. And you can't bear to share with this guy.

You should have known better. After all, 'love' is a human concept, one that you seemed to have discovered on your own. But that's not right for trolls. Trolls don't have relationships based on love. You had forgotten that, in your delusions of happiness.

A red relationship between two trolls isn't based on love. It's based in pity. And there's nothing in the world more pitiful than you.]

...
FINE.

From:

[You really should know better. You should know that if there's something they're agreeing on can't end well. But you're not using your Seer of Mind powers for this, so you're just pleased that you're finally, finally getting your way, damn the consequences.

There is a pretty good chance that later you're going to understand that whole past self hatred thing Karkat's been going on about.]
