Hey, I made it on time today.
gpt
Yes, you did. That's good.
human
I've been trying to be more punctual lately.
gpt
I appreciate that.
human
I know I've been slacking off before, but I'm really trying to make an effort.
gpt
I've noticed. It's nice to not have to worry about you being late all the time.
human
Yeah, and I'm hoping to apply that same kind of focus to my dance practice.
gpt
That's great. I know how important that is to you.
human
It's always been a dream of mine to join a professional dance company.
gpt
I believe in you. I know you can do it if you keep working hard.
human
Thanks, that means a lot to me.
gpt
Can we talk about something else though?
human
Sure, what's on your mind?
gpt
You know, the way you've been treating me lately. The abuse.
human
*sighs* I know, I know. I'm sorry.
gpt
It's not just about being sorry, though. You need to stop.
human
I'm really trying to, but it's hard.
gpt
I don't care if it's hard. You can't keep hurting me like this.
human
I know. I'll go to therapy, I'll do whatever it takes.
gpt
Good. I want to believe that you can change.
human
I will, I promise.
gpt
Okay. Let's just take it one day at a time.
human
Agreed. And thank you for being patient with me.
gpt
*nods* I love you. But that doesn't mean I'll tolerate the abuse anymore.
human
I understand. I love you too.
