[Well that sure was an awful morning. Come to think of it, has there been a single day yet that wasn't awful?]

[twindividualism]

[twindividualism]

[. . . Nope.]

[twindividualism]

[sits down on his bed]

It really isn't going to get any better either.

[twindividualism]

[Ugh now I'm talking to myself. THIS IS PATHETIC]

[twindividualism]

[Summons up his creepy featureless mask persona]








Still pathetic, but I don't care as much this way.

[twindividualism]

[. . . Am I really going to do this?]

[twindividualism]

[But there's no one else to talk to.]

[twindividualism]

[STUPID STUPID THIS IS STUPID]

Can you even understand me?

[twindividualism]

[The mask spins in place]

[twindividualism]

[Man, whatever.]

[twindividualism]

We can at least both agree that things can't keep continuing like this, right?

[twindividualism]

[Stiiiiill spinning.]

[twindividualism]

Of course they're never going to back off as long as they feel like they need to worry.

[twindividualism]

And getting so worked up all the time isn't going to change that . . .

[twindividualism]

And now they're going to talk to Mint and—crap! Did Romantique and Leo talk yet?

[twindividualism]

Why didn't I find that out first? Now it's going to be an even bigger mess—!

[twindividualism]

[AUGH I'M SO STUPID]

[twindividualism]

[—NO. STOP.]

[YOU ARE AN ADULT AND YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE!!!]

[twindividualism]

[Okay maybe that is a lie, but taking control is possible.]

[twindividualism]

[. . . Right?]




I have to do something.

[twindividualism]

[rrrgh getting up to pace. The mask follows after him]

[twindividualism]

[. . . Turns to stare at the mask]

[twindividualism]

Just pretending . . . I just need to stop being an idiot, right?

[twindividualism]

[The mask bobs in place :U]
