"I'll sit here for as long as it takes because I care."
Bedlam yawned, staring at Alpha with a friendly grin.
"I'm going to make sure you don't screw yourself over."

She launched herself on him with a desperate frenzy. Alpha was screeching and screaming something resembling "GET OUT" over and over as she jumped on him and kicked, bit, punched, and scratched.
-
"God damn!" He phased through her and appeared behind her a few feet away. "Alpha, calm down. Try and think."
-
After more thrashing she curcled up into a ball, sobbing and crying She was broken. Pandora was her world, and to her, letting go was a personal thing that only she should do. Bedlam and Pandora getting together hurt her personally
-
"It's okay..." Bedlam placed a hand on Alpha's shoulder, a warm, calming feeling would wash over her. The thoughts of pain would be replaced by ones of a bright future. "...You're alright."
-
She shuddered "Let...go of me...."
-
The warm, happy feeling and better thoughts lingered even as he let go. "Alpha, you don't have to be so cold..."
-
She just held herself, whimpering softly
-
Just like back in the arena she'd suddenly find herself forgetting where she was and what had recently happened as the world around her changed. Alpha would find herself living through a fake, happy memory of what could've been a nice day of hanging out with Bedlam if Pan was never brought up. After living through the whole fake memory, she'd awaken with Bedlam sitting a couple feet away. He was bouncing a rubber ball against a wall and catching it.
-
She was angry, once she realized what had happened "You.....bastard."
-
"What now? I just let you know what it's like to have a genuine friend for a while...what you could have if you let go." Bedlam stopped bouncing the ball.
-
"It's all just daydreams and fleeting hopes. Those don't get me anywhere. Just.....just go."
-
"It's reality, Alpha. It's a promise..." Bedlam got up with a weak smile and tossed the ball to Alpha as he walked out. "I hope we can be friends."
-
"Just...leave me." She said, her voice thick "Go..."
-
"I'll be back. I never leave anyone I make a promise to." Bedlam left the ship.
