[Rex can think of a million and one situations that could be worse, and frankly, is a bit surprised that Mark is this put-off by... A few harmless, if fuzzy, additions? Especially considering the fact that this kid has already lived through a number of real-life, actual near-death experiences. Mark's newly fluffy form isn't wasting away or too weak to lift a finger, but if there's one thing Rex has learned, it's that the other boy isn't the best at putting things in perspective. And who is to say, really, what that perspective should be?]
Don't catch rabies on your way out, nerd!
[To say Rex is always true to his word might be pushing it, seeing as if he was that kind of stand-up guy, he wouldn't have cheated on his last serious girlfriend, but he is trying to turn a new leaf. He will find an antidote, damn it! And make Mark like him again... Like him more? Oof.
Mark's exit reawakens a familiar brand of emptiness, one that the warmer-blooded of the duo knows all too well. The pangs of loneliness have a different, staunchly firmer grip on the hearts of those who are used to being left behind more often than not, and for Rex, it has always been quite the motivator, like the cold, steel on skin feeling of a gun being pressed against his head.]
