Walking…Walking…walking….
Crunch..crunch…crunch…
*pant*....*pant*.....
“Mirra, you really need to work on your cardio.”
“Oh come on! It's a long trail!”
“Its only been 20 steps.”
“......”
“Of course you counted.”
“Do we really have to go all the way here?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“It’s practical for avoiding…people. Especially those people.”
“But why? Their neurons are nice!”
“Mirra, they accuse everyone of being a narcissist. It’s statistically impossible. They clearly don’t know how to do their math.”
“..Maybe it's a turn of phrase?” *pant*
“Except a turn of phrase is distinct and artistic in definition. Whatever they are doing is far from that.”
“...Silas?”
“Hmm?”
“Why didn’t their neurons listen to mine? Aren’t synapses supposed to connect when the brain learns something new?”
“......”
“Some people just don’t have neurons.”
“What?! Silas, that’s impossible! Everyone has neurons!”
“Well clearly those idiots don’t-”
“HEY!”
“?!”
“Don’t call my neuron friends ‘idiots’!”
“.......”
“Well then, what are they?”
“Their neurons are..misguided, that’s all..”
“Mirra.”
“Why won’t you admit it? They don’t know what they are doing. All they do is spew pseudointellectual bullshit out of their mouth and spit it directly to an echo chamber of people who view the world the exact same way.”
“...”
“Just admit it. They don’t deserve to be your friend.”
“.......”
“Because..I’m not exactly the most worthy person either…”
“??”
“I mean, Silas, look at me, I’m…”
“......”
“Don’t you see it, Silas? I thought you could see it..why doesn’t anybody else see it?”
“Stop.”
“...Huh?”
“Stop doing that. Self deprecation is ugly. Stop doing that.”
“But-”
“No buts.”
“I don’t understand why you keep on saying this stuff. ‘Look at me, I’m worthless.’, ‘Can’t you see how useless I am?’”
“I don’t care how much you try to convince me, I can't see it.”
“In fact, I won't see it.”
“...What?”
“*Scoff* Why are you confused? I thought you could see it?”
“Hey- Silas! That’s not nice!”
“But it's true, isn’t it?!”
“Hmph…..not fair! How come you get to make all the good jokes?”
“I guess some people are just born superior.”
“... Hehe...Sounds like someone from your country…someone very well known.”
“.....Oh you did not.”
“I sure did!”
“HEY- Get back here! I thought you couldn’t exercise!”
“I guess some people are born superior!”
“*pant* *pant*....God. I hate you.”
“.....heh..”
