-Ron's POV-

"Jason, what have you been up to?" I asked.

"Trying to find you guys." responded Jason.

"What happened after you had exited the portal?" I asked.

"I was knocked out." answered Jason.

"Who knocked you out?" I asked.

"I couldn't tell, but it was a man." answered Jason.

"Was there only a man that you saw?" I asked.

"I only saw man," replied Jason, "but I heard Jon mention that there is a woman involved in this."

"Are you saying you failed to notice the woman?"

"I don't know where she was at the time, so maybe?"

"Anything catch your interest during that time?"

"Not really."

"What happened after you woke up?"

"I was in some kind of control room. In there, I fought Jeff."

"What happened during the fight?"

"I couldn't beat Jeff. He was too strong; this is his world, anyways."

"I wonder why Jeff didn't just kill us all, even if it is somehow hopeless."

"By the way, Ron, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

"What is it?"

"Lately," he said, "you've been a bit dark."

"Jason, you know I don't like talking about how I feel about things."

"And I don't like it when you don't want to talk about things."

"Just what are you trying to get out of me?"

"Another thing... you're always rating your work so low."

"My work isn't important, anyways. To hell with it all!"

"It's true that others are naturally able to produce works superior to others, but that does not mean that they're bad."

"I don't know what you're talking about. This story sucks!"

"Now I don't know what you're talking about. You're not really satisfied with anything, are you?"

"Not really."

"Is there a reason for that?"

"Why would I be satisfied with anything I do? Nobody else is!"

"So… I think I get it. You're saying that your work is never appreciated."

"I see little point in trying anymore, somebody I know is just going to point out something wrong with it."

"Have you been referring to anyone in your family?"

"They don't care at all these days. I don't want anything to do with them!"

"Just how bad is it?"

"It doesn't matter where I end up after school; those people will end up worrying only about themselves!"

"Are you worried about losing something in the future?"

"I've been losing lots of things."

"Just what have you lost?"

"My friends keep eventually disappearing."

"What do you mean by that?"

"They leave my life. It's as simple as that."

"Why do they even leave?"

"It's just that – well, something's always happening, like them moving somewhere or transferring to other schools."

"And you just never contacted them."

"Some left when I was really young and that includes the first friend I ever made."

"What about everyone else?"

"It's not that we couldn't contact each other in that case, but we grew distant over the years."

"Also, I've been informed that you have a habit of wandering off on your own?"

"What about it?"

"Why?"

"I can tell when I'm not wanted or not needed, so I go. I may have saved all worlds last year, but it doesn't even mean anything. Not even to my family."

"So, you feel left out most of the time?"

"Yes, I know I'm worthless. There's no need to remind me. Life has been giving me a big middle finger since I started high school and each year, it's grown bigger and bigger. Now I'm always full of doubt and always frustrated. There are many things I don't care about anymore and that includes myself. But that's enough about me."
