took a look at the prices for those, you don't get the same bang for your buck.

[ which means it's either way lower or way higher a number than she wants to admit, and he knows where he'd lay his money if he had less pride. ]
same scale you rated nathan on

[ He can't say "no." Outside of being patently untrue, it won't serve her in the long term to be fed a lie. It'll just make her think there's something wrong with her for not being able to cope as easily as she thinks she should.
It's not something he likes to admit to people, though. There's a serious vulnerability in not only acknowledging that you need help, but subsequently asking for it after the fact. Nate doesn't have to take the advice he gives, even if he knows he ought to do so. ]
i'm going to try to word this in a way that accurately reflects the experience, but i'm not super good at this so just keep that in mind
most of the time it's okay? you're doing other things, you get distracted, you have friends or places to visit
or you forget because it kind of becomes normal, like background noise
but you're always sort of going to be reconciling lost time. which i know is a weird way to describe time you've actually experienced, but because it's not equivalent sometimes it doesn't feel real.
do you have something to go back to?

Yeah. I didn't either.
[Usually, that sort of morbid cheer would get her to smile, but it doesn't this time. Still, it's sort of... nice that he's letting her lead with this. It makes it easier, somehow, or as easy as it can be. It doesn't ease the pit in her stomach, but it's something.]
I don't know when, but sometime after he left, I guess he... made a deal with something. A really shitty deal. Sometimes people bind themselves to spirits to make themselves stronger, you know? If they're stupid, I mean. And this thing was draining him.
[She makes a face, amends awkwardly.]
Killing him. The only way he knew how to slow it down was to give it other people to use up instead.
