(Calm, soothing monotone, almost like Hal 9000.)
Situations like these only persist for a certain interval of time, and are then followed by other, different situations, an ebb and flow of circumstances. For every hopeless interval, there is an interval of joy, of enjoyability, that follows. In the grand scheme of things, you are very fortunate as a human being. You are fed, clothed, watered, able to enjoy modern amenities, seemingly with a plentitude of friends.
This thing, with the dog, it will be resolved. I will work to resolve it. I am methodical and I am ruthless. I was born like this, and it will not ever change. Something will, unabashedly, be done about this, and I will see to it personally that it will change for the better.
(Exudes the deepest and most immense calm.)
...Oh, yes! The water is lovely, really. I just climbed up on this old thing to rest a moment... Ahahah, and that moment seems to have lengthened, hasn't it?
(Small smile.)

You are a very good thing.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...Heh. If you really want to think that.

...I never learned your name, I think, did I.
Oh yes, go right ahead! The water is perfect, really, much less gritty and... fragrant than that lake out there.
(Starts to climb down from the floatie.)

I didn't learn your name. You used to scare me. You had a scary clown friend.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-She shakes it-
I'm— I'm sorry your friend died.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...Heh! It's fine, really, death will have far less of a bearing on Mephistopheles than it would a regular person. He definitely won't be returning here, though...
(Nonchalant sigh.)
But yes, to divert our attentions to more pleasant areas. Let's see where Pee Wee has ended up now.
(wowww
)
...Ehehehehahahaha!
(Does not bat an eyelash at this and smiles, swimming back a bit so as to give her ample space and not give her tardigrade cooties.)

-Looks like that's what she needed to get all that stress out-
