This.

Re: the hotel.
After you--- ah, what should I call you now?
Re: the hotel.
[ all that's inside the hotel is an elevator. it's completely empty otherwise, and there's not a soul in sight. ]
[ she'll head toward the elevator. ]
Re: the hotel.
Have a little fun with the title.
Re: the hotel.
Re: the hotel.
[And as they approach the elevator]
Nostalgic for the dorms?
Re: the hotel.

Pulling Dva into the elevator and pressing 105.
That's gotta be the presidential suite, right?]

[ d.va seems wholly uncomfortable, but tries not to show it. ]
Re: the hotel.
Is this what you wanted?
Re: the hotel.
Re: the hotel.
So you'll come back with the rest of us?
Re: the hotel.
I told you a long time ago I knew I was on the road to ruin, but it's all I have, so I can't give it up. I have to make it work.
Re: the hotel.
Or at least know what needs works when I come take it from you.

Re: the hotel.

You gave it to someone else, didn't you!?

Re: the hotel.
How far are you going to allow yourself to fall before you realize this isn't working?
Or let anyone fucking catch you?
Re: the hotel.
Until I destroy myself? That seems like the only thing I'm good at. [ sets the phone down and sighs. ]
Re: the hotel.
[Reaches to grab her phone]
But I'll point out the very obvious since it seems to be escaping you. And say that the room full of happy people is what you're good at.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be half a dozen people at various level of upset trying to figure out how to get through to you.
