You know it's okay to ask for things you want? Or to have wants that don't line up with mine? Or Edward's, or anyone else's. I know that's hard. That's why Chris has a big new stereo and a car now, because he wants but he can't ask. So I have to work to figure out if he really doesn't care, or if he just-- wants it but can't allow himself to look weak.
Pretty sure you're... not worried about looking weak, Toshiko. But you don't allow yourself much... and honestly, I'm glad you went and bought the laptop.

Break a few rules. Enjoy being just bad enough. And let yourself want. As a friend to a friend? It's okay to go after what you want, and to want it at all.
