They really should accept me to fucking MENSA already.

Oi, New Moore.

Let's play a game!

SHAG/MARRY/CLIFF
or
FUCK/MARRY/KILL
whichever you prefer, really.

You answer completely honestly and then leave your own triad and everyone else answers you and we fuck ourselves over for the conceivable rest of eternity.

Look, I'll even make the first one easy: Ramona, Shepard and that shifty forest bint, Aisling.

Uh, right. That all makes sense, I just have a lot going on with my therapy and things with Castle are a little iffy right now and I'm not going to stop talking am I?

[She moans.]

I really hate this. My personal life is really compromised right now - obviously, I mean you saw how that went on the network a few weeks ago. I'm really worried I'm going to say something that'll screw things up with him.

Apparently not.

[Koizumi's eyebrows draw together, and he looks sympathetic to Kate's plight.]

I understand. I really do. You love him, you care about him enough that you always worry that the next word you say will mean the end of the world. That it will ruin everything. [Koizumi was speaking both metaphorically and literally here - things were a little too dramatic in his own life.] And now you're not even in control of what you say - that could put a strain on any relationship.

On the one hand, it might be better to avoid him until this event is over, but on the other hand, if your relationship survives this, I'd think it should be stronger than ever.

[Koizumi looks quickly horrified with what he's just said.]

Kate, I'm sorry. I didn't - [And there he chokes on his own words, because he can't truthfully say 'I didn't mean it.']

[She wants to argue that she doesn't love him but that would be a lie, so she just looks frustrated instead.]

Don't apologize. You're right and it kind of pisses me off that everyone on this damn island knows more about my relationship than I do. I hate talking about it. I hate talking about my personal life and I've never, ever let a relationship define me but I can't seem to help it when it comes to him. If I didn't have him right now, I don't know what I'd do.

[Koizumi looks slightly miserable, but his expression clears as he sets that aside for Kate's benefit.]

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration.

In all honesty, [No pun intended.] I would say that you should just try not to worry about it that much right now - worrying rarely produces the desired outcome, and it seems to me that oftentimes it makes you nervous enough to make more mistakes than you otherwise would.

It's not really an exaggeration. I'm codependent on him right now and I really hate myself for that. At least, that's what my therapist said it sounded like... I can't believe I'm actually talking about this. And I am worried and you're right, I'm probably gonna screw it up because of that.
