What was I supposed to do? Not fight him? Who else would?!
_{[ Mark doesn't sound too angry, just a little appalled. He didn't want to fight Nolan; he couldn't believe he was fighting Nolan. He couldn't believe Nolan used this train to impale him! ]}

Trust me, what I'm going through sucks.

_{[ Mark doesn't respond right away as he rinses off the very last bit of blood from his body and then cups some of it to rinse off his face. He has to think for a moment. ]}

I don't know the answer to that either.. there's been a lot of other things going on before all of this stuff with my dad, too. I was confused then and now he just made it even more confusing for me. But..

I feel like I'm supposed to protect Earth at least. Earth is all I've ever known. Whether I go about it like a superhero or something else, I don't know.. but right now..
I feel like.. a loser.

_{[ Who can't figure it all out. ]}
