shinji how believable do you really find it that i would ever be gone from this place i mean sure it isnt impossible or anything but plausible is another matter entirely
and yes things have been going well when can i expect you back
im not going to pretend he wasnt annoying and weird but i cant exactly blame you for still liking him it isnt an everyday phenomenon to know someone whose every cell seems determined to love you in particular that can be an attractive circumstance
im already using wriggling day to measure alternian time as an example my ninth wriggling day was last november but my twentieth "birth"day is this coming may i mostly use "birthday" for convenience because terrans understand what im talking about without having to additionally explain anything im just wondering if i can do that with more accurate terminology
oh yes i remember in great detail how blah blah blah something about nihilism and that celebrating anything positive is just awful actually i cant remember if that was you or karkat probably both
[ She just remembers the time Shinji showed up in Heropa for a hot second, promptly ignored her, and started a conversation with Karkat while he was spiraling. The two of them together would have been an inescapable pit of despair. ]
you two had a lot in common actually not the least that i love you both dearly but your temperaments were very similar he just had the volume turned higher
you say that like its possible for me to stop worrying
is the studio still in the same place i can stop by after i check out my new apartment (maurtia falls so ive now lived in all three cities how exciting)
