<sub>[Ralph has...some heavy thought bricks to sort through now and he doesn't like a single one of them. Who...who would make a game like that? Why would anyone pay money to see that? WHAT WERE THE KIDS PLAYING THESE DAYS SWEET MOTHER HUBBARD?]

[He's quiet for some time. Then he gets up. It looks like he's going to abandon Wrath but soon he returns with another pudding cup. He peels the top off and starts eating the gross, room-temp stuff himself as he stares into nothing.]</sub>

<sub>[KIDS THESE DAYS ARE MESSED UP, RALPH.]

[CASE IN POINT: the one sitting on the table in front of you, soberly licking at his empty pudding up.]

[He tilts his head when Ralph 'leaves', but just watches as he returns with another cup.]</sub>

... Ralph?

[rocketralph]

_{[He doesn't say anything. He just eats that pudding. When he's done, he heaves another huge sigh.]}

I had no idea you had it that rough, kid. Nothin' like that's gonna happen to you here. Not if I can help it.

[garbagechild]

_{[He's never found Ralph to be particularly unpleasant (because Wrath wouldn't know deliberate rudeness if it hit him in the face), but he's also never heard that kind of quiet sincerity from him before.]}

... Not even if I'm really bad?

[rocketralph]

I don't think you could be the kind of bad that would deserve something like that. And this is commin' from a professional Bad Guy.

[garbagechild]

... Oh.

Okay.

<sub>[He says this quietly.]

[THE TRUTH IS THAT WHAT HE'S DONE IS AWFUL. But Ralph is big, and a self-professed Bad Guy. And if he says that Wrath doesn't deserve it... well? Who is he to doubt? It's not the same as being told that by his old team-members. It's from one of his new team-mates, and somehow it matters in a different way.]</sub>

... Can I have another pudding cup?

[rocketralph]

_{[Another long silence. That grin troubles him and he doesn't even know why. He has not even started to peel this onion.]}

...Yeah. Yeah, sure thing, kid.

<sub>[He fetches another two, one for both of them. It was a two pudding cup kind of night.]

[And while he had his snack, his sorrow and guilt were pushed aside by a much, much bigger emotion. RAGE. He was going to go have a talk with these old teammates of Wrath's.]</sub>
