[ Brief interlude as he plays yet more Wonderwall in contemplative silence, trying to remember what he's talking about. ]
I don't like most tragedies, much? I like stories with happy endings better. But I know they're an important kind of story to tell, because - because they're about what could've been. If someone had been a little less stubborn, or a little more kind, or braver at the right moment, or more patient. Or if people around them had been those things, and not pushed them to make the wrong choices. And we're supposed to see that, and learn from it.
[ Wonderwall continues.
I just... like it better, when the characters get the chance to learn, too. Instead of ruining their chances forever, and being left there at the end.
