"The thing is, it wasn't really a question."
He placed a hand softly on her shoulder.
"Sarah, I care so so much about you..."

She sighed, "I'm not as mentally stable as I appear to be. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know if I'll ever know what's wrong with me."
-
Bedlam hugged her, holding her tight. "Sarah, I can help you, but you have to let me. I can't force it."
-
She sighed. "Alright."
-
"You're so much better than this..." He kissed the top of her head. "You'll get through this."
-
"No... I don't know better. I have lost my morals of myself and of others. I have no honor. Just... regret," she replied, "Few know what I did."
-
"Sarah, that's in the past. Look toward the future, Sarah. Look forward, Carolina." He grinned weakly.
-
"It's hard to see the future... it's filled with uncertainty. It's obscured."
-
"I can tell you now that I have hope it'll be a happy future. You'll have a nice, happy family, kids that behave...somewhat and love you dearly."
-
"Well, I hope so. But first, I have a long road ahead."
-
"And I'll be with you every step of the way." He smiled at her.
-
"I need someone by my side. Now if you excuse me, I must be going... to sleep."
-
He sighed. "I guess it's still inappropriate for me to sleep with you, isn't it?"
-
"Very."
-
"Hmm. Fiiiine." He chuckled. "I guess no cuddling, I'll leave." Bedlam stood up to go, waving. "Bye."
-
Meanwhile, a very terrified Janes sat outside the door.
-
"Dude, leave." Bedlam whispered as he passed him on the way out.
-
"Was going to wait for you to leave."
-
"Ah, okay." He kept walking out.
-
"Tell me what else has been going on."
-
"Not much. The Dojo blew up a few times, I'm the new tourney champ. That's about it."
-
"Cool."
-
"Yeah, nothing too big happens...well, for this place."
-
"Anything else I need to know?" James asked.
-
"Nope." Bedlam vanished. [spoiler]end[/spoiler]
