Was I ever relevant?

[Friedel looks at his hands, his eyes filled with disbelief.]

I can't believe this. was I just an optional background character? Huh? Was I that irrelevant?

She talked to me at least once every day before this. I worked so hard just to make her smile. Day after day, I slaved away on the statistics, making sure she could be as comfortable as possible in an environment like this.

...And then she just left.

No goodbye, not even a wave, no note... nothing.

...

That's what I'm worth, apparently. Nothing.

That's how she sees me.

[His hands drop to his sides, but his head remains down. A tear drops on the floor.]

...Maybe she was just trying to show me my true worth all along.

[Small sobs emerge from his chest as his eyes start leaking more. The wet spot on the floor grows fast.]
