aside from the whole torture party? no. i just feel bad. i promised i'd paint the room with markus and sora but i haven't been able to. i didn't want to come back to the safehouse and put anybody else in danger.
How are they getting inside? Don't martyr yourself. You said you're fast. Even the gangs here don't have the surveillance equipment of the guys in charge.
if they think that going after somebody i care about would get to me, they might wait outside.
[ things that people have done... to caroline... to get to people that care about her. ]
i can take care of myself. other people might not be able to survive what we did. i couldn't live with myself if someone else got hurt just because i didn't want to pay rent.
This isn't about rent. This is about you taking a stance that separates you from people who matter to you. Tasks you prefer to do. Don't diminish why you'd like to be here, unless you'd prefer not to be at all.
Morningstar can look out for you. We have an all-knowing AI who can tell if you're being tailed. This isn't your burden to carry, and if I'd been around, I would've been there to help in the thick of it.
i'm not running away forever. i want to help. and if el is willing to look out for us, i won't tell him no. but he got kind of weird about me keeping blood bags in the fridge, and i kind of want my own bedroom with a door, you know?

Rumor has it you've had some trouble.
I can pull some strings if it's still going. I know Jason had his say with it, but I know how grudges can carry.

i'm sorry i left the safehouse such a mess.

[Gaby: assumes they blew the place up and had to cover it up.
Way bigger than "I didn't paint."]

Well, first. You're missing the point of a safehouse.

Use that. Don't remove yourself.

okay...
are you going to tell me what is the right way, then, or just tell me i'm wrong every other message?

If you want to help, you'll be here. It starts with you, not us asking you to come.
I'm sorry for what happened, but you can't isolate yourself to protect others.
