Richard had succeeded only in compounding his problems.
He emerged from the bathroom a few hours later, cold and wet and still trickling blood from the wound on his throat.
"Dying should be easier. God knows it didn't take much the first time..."

Sweeney (who had come in to check on Richard a few minutes ago) suppressed a snicker. "Well, maybe you can't do it now because you're already dead."

"It's not funny," Richard said bitterly.
He pushed aside a bit of hair the water had plastered to his face and looked for a place to sit.

"You clearly have NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW."

"Oh, right. Your petty little deportment. At least that was the only thing that ever happened to you! At least you were never betrayed and beaten to death!"
He rounded on him.
"Have you ever felt your skull break, Mr. Todd? I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT!"

Sweeney glared at Richard, using the couple of inches he had on him to tower over him. "You have no idea what my life has been. Don't think that I am simply being petty over a legal matter."

"You only had one life to be completely destroyed by everyone and everything around you. TRY DOING IT FOR CENTURIES."

He shrugged. "I probably will."

"Is that so? Well-"
He stopped short, having attempted to crane his neck aggressively and instead stretching the wound.
"Good God- shit-"

He raised an eyebrow. "I told you that trying to kill yourself was foolish."

"I knew this would sting a little, but not for this long..."

((Hee!))
He shook his head in disbelief. "Do you want a bandage or something for that?"

"It'll heal soon enough..."
He pulled his hand away. It was covered in blood.
"God's teeth."
