He said it and he was right and he was right. The kids at school proved it time and time again.

[baruthumos]

D, that was like fifteen years ago. And you pass for normal. You're the most normal person in this house, aside from the chocolate obsession and the martyr complex.

[protective_logic]

He said... He said they wouldn't like me and he's right.

[baruthumos]

Who doesn't like you? Plenty of people like you. I feel like I'm talking to Theta here. If you're going to make me do this, will you at least not make me sit on the couch with my helmet on and text you from ten feet away like an idiot?

[protective_logic]

I... okay, we can talk.

[baruthumos]

I'll bring the chocolate.

[protective_logic]

There's more?

[baruthumos]

Do I ever run out? Salted caramel or the crunchy kind?

[protective_logic]

Crunchy.

[baruthumos]

Is Maine still in there with you? Trying to gauge how many laps I'm going to run later.

[protective_logic]

Should... I send him away?

[baruthumos]

Don't you dare, we're going to need someone who's good at the thing I'm terrible at. You know the one. The thing where you actually believe the words emitting from him in any way, shape, or form.

[protective_logic]

What makes you think I believe him when he tells me I'm not broken? Maybe I just think he cares about me anyway because he's someone who has been pulled apart too.

[baruthumos]

I thought we established you're broken but we're going to fix you. Try to keep up.

[protective_logic]

I know how much it costs.

[baruthumos]

Sparkles, there are people lining up to give us the money. You want your ears fixed or you want to sit there and wallow in self-pity?

[protective_logic]

It's not that simple.

[baruthumos]

How is it not that simple? It's not fun, but you can't stay like this.

[protective_logic]

What if this is what I'm meant to be?

[baruthumos]

Then they wouldn't have invented subdermal implants to improve hearing. How is this any different than your glasses. Or the shoes Gamma used to wear to keep from getting pigeon-toed. You had bad luck, it's getting fixed, and why you insist on treating this like some capital crime you've committed is beyond me.

[protective_logic]

You wouldn't understand. He told me that and I can see it now. Please don't come up.

[baruthumos]

Fine, I'll sit here like an idiot with my helmet on. What won't I understand. Put it in small words. Because if you can't manage to explain it to me? It's probably a pack of lies.

[protective_logic]

I don't even... People hate what is different. I am different. Very different. And the worst part? Like this, I can't even hear them coming after me.

[baruthumos]

You're going around in circles, D. We can fix you. We can make you just the same as everyone else. And in the meantime, there is a house full of people who like you anyways. Just because you went to school with some jerks doesn't mean we've been lying to you.

[protective_logic]

The twins wont' like me. Little kids didn't like me when I was their age.
