Do you think lying by omission should be counted as lying?

[ward A to Ulysses, written during potions class]

I had a dream last week that you died. It took a week and a half before we found your body. Maggots were starting to grown inside of you.

We had a funeral.

[ward B to Ulysses, written during potions class]

I think I made Bash cry.

[ward C to Ulysses, written after potions class]

I called all of Sam's friends cruel to her face. In hindsight, I strongly believe that was a mistake, but they are cruel.

She told me I have mean and judgmental thoughts just like everyone else. I do not want to admit out loud that that bothers me more than I believe it should. Bash called me nice, but what if he's mistaken? What if I'm only nice because I've never been mean out loud, to him, or in front of him. Or to anyone. Does it count as nice, if I'm still mean inside of my own head? Am I liar?

[ward D to Ulysses, written at during his free period]

I appreciate your existence Ulysses. I just thought you should know. If you disappeared, I would miss you. Sometimes I miss you even when we're in the same room together.

[ward E to Ulysses, written five minutes after ward D]

I regret the honesty of that last ward. If I could lie, I would have lied by omission just then.

[ward F to Ulysses]

Do you think Casper is okay?

What if my concern for him exists because I believe it should, and not because I actually care about his wellbeing? Sometimes I do not believe he deserves concern. But sometimes I believe he pushes people away because he does not believe that he deserves concern, which are the moments I believe he deserves concern the most. He seems alone.

He seems lonely.

[ward to Clem]

I am proud of you, Clementine. I just thought you should know.

[Ward to Leo]

I am honored you allowed me to join your team this year, and I am honored I got to play with you. You will be missed next year, Leo.

Sometimes you are intimidating.

Sometimes I feel like you do that on purpose.

[Ward to Dahlia]

Do you think I bother Ulysses?

Also, I'm very proud of you. Your entire existence has given me much happiness this year.

As long as it's not outright lying I don't know if it's lying? I can still be deceitful though?

I believe that lying by omission is lying.

Specifically because I cannot right now.

I did not believe this yesterday.

To lie is an action. Before you willfully lie, it's just something that's false.

You are not appreciated as much as you deserve to be appreciated, Wilde.

~~What th~~

[...] Veritaserum?

Yes.

It feels like trying to hold just a little more than a fistful of marbles inside of a fist.

I can't believe how many people took that shit.

Yes, and he loves it, my darling child.

Sometimes I worry.

I know baby. We all know.

Is that bad?

Depends on the context of the worrying, I guess. Does the level of your worrying interfere with your ability to live a happy and successful life?

Yes, it is.

Proud to have had you. You did really well this year.
[...] I'm not intimidating on purpose.

Does it bother you that you are viewed as intimidating when you do not mean to be intimidating?

No.

Is it because you want to be intimidating?

Aw, shucks. Was it a nice funeral?

There was a full orchestra. It was so large, they barely fit inside of the building and we couldn't hear any of the final words of anybody who spoke. It was extremely frustrating.

But the music was beautiful.

I've added some of it to my senior project.

I wish I had kept that last part to myself.

I'm touched. Hope my dirges carry you to an A. Let me know if I oughta take a quick sojourn into Hades when inspiration slows.

What the hell, Solo. I told you not to talk to anyone. You think I spend all day nagging at you for my health? ~~Holy shit, I sound like~~

[...] Maybe I'm the wrong person to ask on account of how I've never been nice a day in my life, but. Well. Not even the best of us can think kind thoughts all the time. You know, 'cause some things suck. And if you didn't notice, it'd mean you were a fuckin idiot.

~~This is~~ ~~Why'd you have to~~ ~~How can I~~ [...] Some folks are smart and some are funny and that's just who they are. But nice is something you've gotta try and be. An action. You can think something downright terrible, but if you stop before it comes out of your mouth — not 'cause you're scared, but 'cause you don't wanna hurt them — then that's being nice. You're nice. And kind too. ~~I know that much.~~ Stop worrying about it.

[...] Mostly, because I'm about to run out of ink.
