006 ✞ [video]✞ Encrypted from Damian times a million

(~~A million, of course, meaning the highest she currently knew how to code, which was a solid 60%. Thus, he theoretically could still hack it, should he choose to do so~~)

[It had been more than a week, and Midii was still at a complete loss. So much so, she was finally desperate enough to go to the Network for help. Something that, under most any other circumstance, she would never do. Which spoke volumes about the situation as a whole. And how she felt about it.]

[After more than a full ten seconds of silence wondering how to phrase her problem, before she gave up and just blurted out the first question that came to mind:]

How do you get someone to admit he's being a jerk?

He's calling me by my last name and won't listen when I tell him I don't like it.

Why does he do that? I mean, that does seem a little jerk-ish.

I don't know. If I didn't, I wouldn't be asking for help like this.

Maybe you should talk to someone who knows the guy well andcould tell you if stuff like this is normal for him.

[A shrug] I mean, I could tell you what would make me act like a jerk but not every guy is the same.

What's that?

[He was right about not every guy being the same, and she knew that. But maybe if she had one example coming from one person's personal perspective, it might help to understand what could be going through the mind of another.]

Underestimating me. Treating my girlfriend badly- or any of my friends, really, but especially my Hazel.

[...or maybe not.]

[The sentiment was...sweet. Very sweet. The way he referred to her as 'my Hazel'. It brought a faint smile to Midii's lips. Whoever this girl was, she was very lucky.]

He doesn't have a girlfriend. I'm pretty sure. If he does, he's never mentioned one.

And I've never underestimated him in anything. I try not to underestimate anyone. I know better.

Maybe you're not the problem? Maybe someone else has pissed him off and you get to deal with that.

...that's not fair.

[Stating the obvious. Assuming it was true, which she had her doubts. Not enough to completely dismiss the idea, though.]

Being a jerk to a friend isn't fair either way, but yeah. Sometimes people aren't exactly logical, let alone fair. Can you think of something that could have pissed him off?

I'm not even sure we were friends.

[She doesn't use that word lightly, and if anything, the hesitation was more on Damian's end than hers.]

Especially not now.

And no, I can't think of anything. He was fine up until I asked him to keep calling me Midii. I don't really know what he does when I'm not around, so I can't say.

I'd say someone making you this upset has to be at least a friend. It even got you to make a post. [He's just saying.]

What else would he call you if not your name?

He calls me "Une" now. It's my last name.

Where I come from, that's how strangers speak to each other.

And where he comes from? [Because with so many people from so many different worlds in this place, he has to ask.]

He didn't say. He just said that was the way he did things, and he wouldn't change no matter what it meant to me.

Maybe it's not a personal thing then. Maybe it's the way things are where he comes from. I mean, if it makes you uncomfortable he still should stop. But maybe you're not the problem.

...maybe. I don't know.

This is one time I almost wish he wouldn't be so...him. Not when it comes to things like this.
