The reaper groaned and rubbed her face. “The past, the past, the past!” She repeated. “Dear Jack, Roch, you sound like Riyo! Being caught up and strung up over the past will not get you anywhere. It is done, it happened, now get over it.” Hel sat up suddenly and splashed some water at him. “You can not look towards the future if you keep your head turned in that direction. You can not focus on the present either as well if you keep worrying about it.”
The ghoul huffed. “I am not trying to belittle your past events, friend, after all, the past makes us who we are, but we can change too, ya know? Second.” She splashed some more water at him. “You need to quit Jack damn belittling those around you.” She splashed him again. “Danny and Xiu both know what they are in for when they decide to be your friend. They placed their faith and their trust in you. They given you physical symbols of their ties to you, so stop whining and worrying about it, and just accept and cherish them for what they are. Proof that someone cares about you.”
Goodness, Hel was just on that soap box right now.

"No they didn't," Roch said, looking at her blankly. "When you first met me and became my friend, did you know that I've got a three inch thick record? And seriously, Hel, as awesome as that sounds, you know, the whole forgetting thing, it doesn't work in court."
He wiped the water off of his face, feeling frustrated with the entire thing. "I ain't worth them getting into trouble like that, Hel. No one is. See, I figure school friends are just that. School friends. We're gonna graduate and go our own ways--hell, I fully plan on spending most of my adult life in the human world, working. I might visit once in a while, sure, but--"
He sat back, trying to think of how to put it. "There's some decisions you make real young, and they come back to haunt you when you're older. Look at my old man. He got involved with a gluttony demon, now he's stuck with a teenage kid when he's in his mid-thirties. This is sort of like that. Or me. I learned how to pick locks when I was ten, so now I've got a ton of B&E on my record."

The ghoul scoffed, loudly. “So what, Roch? I know now, and it does not change anything. And seriously, Roch? Bogeymen have bigger things to fry right now than a boil at Amity with a Juvenile record. They have missing students to find and false reapers to deal with.” Hel didn’t seem awfully sympathetic at the moment. To her, this all just seemed like unnecessary worry. There were bigger and more troublesome things to worry about. She felt like he was looking at a small piece of a much larger picture that needed to be looked at. “ Roch, how about you let your friends decide what is worth it or not. If they did not think it was worth it, they would not be hanging in there.” Her brows furrowed. Just…school friends? She didn’t necessarily like the sound of that. She liked to think she’d keep in touch with the friends she made here after leaving Amity, no matter where their paths may take them. The ghoul shrugged again. “ And? So you deal with it and move on. You are living with the consequences of actions and the consequences of your actions, so what more can you do? You deal, and you keep moving forward, instead of puttering around in circles, because that is what it feels like you are doing.” She flicked some water at him again.

"But if you can stop from screwing up royal before you do it, don't you think you should?" Roch asked her. "And making myself stressed out over demons, especially--did you know, I don't think I met a demon at all before I came to this school--or if I did it wasn't out of the demon's choice. They don't go to my neighborhood, and that's where I'm goin' back to after this. So either I'll be in a place where I'll never see them--ESPECIALLY the classy ones--or in the human world--where I'll be working a different route than them."
He frowned, thinking about this more. "Now I'll admit, I'll probably call Danny once in a while, drop by her place--unless it's hotter then hell, then I'll make her meet me somewhere--IF we're still pals after school. But other than her--" he shrugged. "There's only one year left, Hel," he said. "It'll be over soon enough. And you're right. I need to keep moving forward."
And he didn't plan on looking back.
