[...oh darn it Vriska you're her distraction from him]
...
If -- they're keeping him somewhere else here, when I leave, I would probably want to take him with me to the city. But if they sent him home... We weren't entirely sure we had even been taken from the same timeline; in fact he thought he might be a little further in his than mine was, but I had obviously never been to Carriero there if that was so. I might doom that timeline worse by my presence or his absence -- there's no guarantee it could be worked out.
And then there's the possibility he's simply dead. [Short silent linger; she's settled a little less tangled up in Vriska by this point.]
So, yes, I do want to find him and be with him again if at all possible. He -- is just as important to me as you are. But not more. There's nothing I wouldn't do to be with him again, but...
[AUGH feelings readiness and makeout readiness at the same time are too confusing to maintain; she ends up laying down side by side next to Vriska instead.] I've been trying not to think about how hopeless the whole situation seems, because that would be too ironic. They've been advising me to consider the situation as that of certain knowledge he's gone hive, or that either way he's gone forever. And as much as that hurts rather awfully to have to think, and as much as I hate the thought of abandoning hope with regards to him...
It's a choice between being stuck here with an astronomically narrow chance of that even being something that would help at all in finding him, and what would be a much surer chance of being in the city with you -- and of you getting to be with Hanna again. That's an important consideration too. Not to mention that any far-fetched dimensional transportalization schemes would probably have a higher chance of success in the city, given the greater freedoms and resources, especially considering our native timeline should be equally easy or hard to reach from either dimension...
So. [She reaches down to hold Vriska's hand in a fingers-interlace way. ...and then glances over to the closet.] You know, I really will feel so embarrassed if a quarter-sweep from now it turns out there is a transportaliser hidden in there.
THIS IS A REALLY LONG TAG please lemme know if I got any Ads stuff wrong from what Vriska'd say
