[Eridan lets out a huff, trying to seem unimpressed but the subtle way he relaxes and inches just a bit closer speak volumes.]

The heiress wwas one a them. Fef dumped me cause I wwas too much for her an' had the fuckin' nerwe to run off wwith that-

[A bit of a stumble in his words, just barely stopping himself from the mustard blooded freak that wants to slip out on habit]

-wwith Sol. I don't think I killed him, didn't mean to at least, but her... She attacked me after I knocked him out an' I wwas just so fuckin' angry cause she couldn't see that I just wwanted to do wwhat wwas best for her an' then Kan came at me wwith that fuckin' chainsaww and wwhat wwas I supposed to do?

[They had deserved it. Joining up with Jack was the only option and they just wouldn't listen.]

...I didn't kill Kar if that's any better? He wwas in the room wwhen it happened, but he didn't do a fuckin' thin' but stand there so I just left.

[His voice drifts off to a grumble, angry and maybe still resentful even as he fists his shirt.]

An' Kan came back as a fuckin' rainbowwdrinker and I wwas so fuckin' freaked out I didn't hawe a chance wwith that chainsaww comin' at me like that.

[Never tell Eridan you're willing to listen to him, because then it's getting him to shut up that's the issue.]

And it wwasn't fuckin' fair.
