>But Nikki… She’s not well.>I don’t know what to do. I’ve grown to care for Nikki. But that imaginary friend of hers… listen, I know Nikki well, I’ve lived with her for nearly a year. It’s not imaginary. >It’s real, and as time passes it seems to gain more of a foothold. When she first came here, she’d only talk to it sometimes. >But she’s been through a number of traumatic incidents since we lost Jennifer. And now the damn thing is taking control of her body and going out for joyrides in her lambo, wrestling a title match and publicly assaulting fast food workers.>Nikki and I have… a unique relationship. But she is completely loyal to me, and I trust her. If I ordered her to try to make things right with you and Sola, she’d do it. >But that thing inside of her - it calls itself Coco. It’s unpredictable and dangerous. I don’t know what it wants, I don’t know if it even has any of Nikki’s loyalty to me. And as long as Nikki has no control over it, I can’t trust her, and so I won’t try to convince you to give her a chance.>My friends aren’t bad people, but yeah, they’re flawed. And as we keep getting to know each other, I’m sure you’ll come to find that in some way or another, maybe I am too.>But… codependency, propping up their worst tendencies… you’ve given me a lot to think about. And so I will make some changes.>Starting with Nikki. I owe her a birthday present, but instead of getting the sort of flashy gift she’d want, like another lambo, I’ll look into finding a professional that can give her the help she needs. Maybe she makes something of that opportunity, maybe she doesn’t. It’ll be up to her.
