Persephone sat down to attempt to enjoy a meal but was attacked by Tank. He looked awful and he had a big wound from where Cypher had shocked him. She could tell he had made a struggle just to get there.
"Hey Persephone." Tank groaned.
"Hi." She smiled at him.
"How are you taking the deaths?" he asked.
"I'm fine, how are you?"
"I'll get over it. Look Seph, we've know each other for a long time and," Tank use to babysit Persephone when they were younger, "I think you should just talk to if not me, someone, about you and Mouse."
Persephone rolled her eyes. "I really don't know why people think we were boyfriend and girlfriend because we weren't."
"I didn't say that."
"But you thought it."
"It's just you two always seemed more." Tank started.
"Well we weren't, we were friends."
"Yeah and friends cry when other friends die."
Persephone licked her lips. "How do you know I haven't cried?"
"Have you?"
"No. but that's beside the point." Tank looked at her, "Tank what do you want from me? I can't make myself cry and if I could what would be the point, it wouldn't be genuine."
"But that's exactly my point exactly!" (I know Mouse said those exact words in the tastee wheat scene) "Why don't you cry genuine tears? Why don't you feel comfortable talking about this?"
"I don't know and honestly I don't think it matters. I've lost people I care about more than Mouse, like I don't know my parents so who cares that I'm not getting all worked up over this?" before letting Tank give a rebuttal she got up and ran away without even touching her food.
