Hey, people are working on it! It hasn't been easy, you know! But just remember that while a few are looking for the answers, the rest of us have to make certain we're strong for whatever may happen.
I know that, but it drives me insane that people are complaining over people getting along relatively well for a week when people have been murdered in the streets, it's completely barbaric!
I know I'm something of a nightmare, but being related to me or whatever else for a week surely can't have been that difficult --
[She hasn't, really. Rachel thought she was moderately self-sufficient on the fronts where she felt it was the most important. Stardom. Talent. Proving herself worthwhile in the face of adversity.

-=He watches her for a moment. Looks like he's going to say something. Maybe ask her if she's alright. But then at the last moment he switches tactics.=-
Forget him. He was a pompous ass before the event, so what's going to change him now, eh?
The drive, the passion, the need to succeed. To make yourself grow better, even if you are already the best. He understood me, far better than anyone else ever could.
He pushed me to become better and I pushed him to become better. We were two halves of the same coin.

[She gestures to herself, trying to find a less uncouth word, but Rachel can't, so:]
Instead of just bitching about it like someone was just killed!

... regardless of whatever happened, people should walk away from this with something more than 'I'm deeply sorry I was related to you'.

One stupid remark isn't enough to change that.
