Does it? You're right; I've never tried. If you need something from someone, why would a call not suffice?

Well. It depends on what you need. I like leaving text messages on other people's phones. Or I did, until Goat died.

Shall I do it to you?
[and in the meantime, Armand receives a text message the moment after this is sent consisting of, "<333333"]

The phrasing of that sounded remarkably ill-planned.
I am going to find someone who knows how to text and will show me.
(( I knew that was coming. ))

My English was never that good, Armand. Hush about it.

If I point things out, won't you get better?
*at some point that evening, Nicolas receives a text that says simply, 'Hmmmm.'*

It's simply awkward phrasing. That's not something as easily fixed as...something else.

Now you've got me all mixed up, haven't you?

Or vice versa.
I was referring solely to your English.

But it's a telling phrase even outside of language, isn't it? Is there anyone you don't mix up?

You tell me.

How many people do I know that know you?
It sounds as though your Daniel was mixed up, but it doesn't sound as though he wouldn't have been had you left him alone, though you certainly hastened things along. Maybe that's what it is. You're a catalyst, then, who brings out the worst in others more quickly than the world itself can. Certainly that happened with me. Do you bring out the best in anyone, any of the tenderness? I don't mean to be spiteful. Do you?

This reminds me of that part in movies where the music begins to swell and the main character has a sorrowful epiphany. There would be an artistic glimmer of a tear as his face rends in his realization, perhaps remembering all of the people he tore down, tore apart, or the people he passed on the street, never thinking of anyone but himself. He might think of his family or his friends, the people closest to him who have suffered because of his selfishness or cruelty. Then, the camera zooms in on his determined face as he decides to commit all of himself to helping others for the rest of his life. He leaps up and goes off to embrace his bewildered friends or neglected children, and the audience goes home inspired and content.
It is very fortunate that this is not the movies.
