Oh, he says. Sorry.

He looks down at his hands, then back up at Tyler.

It's— hard. To still be with them. But the truth is, I wouldn't have left on my own. I didn't deserve to. Polly was the one who insisted I come along. She picked me up and carried me. Well. She's an Ogre. She can do that. And I let her because... Well. Ogre. And I guess I've always had a bit of a soft spot for her.

She knows—they all know now—how it felt for me. That I liked it. I told them. Well. Yelled it at them while I was shouting about how they should have left me behind. That was just after I found out that Charley was missing.

I don't know what it's like when you've known them long before you're stuck with them in hell together... but as painful as it is to be reminded of what I did, I think I might have been even more fucked up alone. I'm actually stupidly grateful I got press-ganged into the mob immediately after arriving here. Team Rocket's a bitch sometimes but it's not lonely.

And. You know. I got you out of it. And Carly and Lydia and Jack and Dirk and Connie. You guys are my family now. Maybe it's stupid and sentimental, but it's how I feel.
