[Try meeting a version of yourself from nearly forty years ago. Now that was weird.]

They just don't know how mean people can be. Or maybe they like being mean too.

<3!

[monachopsis]

[Okay, you definitely win.]

No, I think... I think some of them really believe it. That not everyone wants to hurt others.

They probably don't know any better.

[She had wanted to believe that too once, had argued with momma that not everyone was bad... and look what happened to her.]

... They're lucky.

[monachopsis]

[The momentary kindnesses only make the inevitable cruelty that much worse.]

They are. It must be nice, not havin' the world constantly reminding you of how bad it can get.

[wantstobenormal]

Maybe that's why they like these... weird games so much.

[Escapism. Makes sense. Carrie'd be lying if she said she didn't want to indulge in something like that.]

[monachopsis]

[Boy, wouldn't that be nice?]

Probably. After all, pretending's the easiest way to ignore the bad things, isn't it?

[wantstobenormal]

[A nod, but she frowns.]

But pretending can only do so much...

[monachopsis]

Maybe for some of them, pretending is all they have...?
