[...Takes it]

I... I've pretty much told everyone...

[cest_untrap]

Will this be a problem for you?

[pingifneeded]

It's... really hard to tell. Most everyone already knew or they're taking it well. Honestly, it may be a weight off my shoulders, but if someone from home were to show up...

...Anyway, you can't unsay things.

[cest_untrap]

Maybe you could... just be you for awhile.

[pingifneeded]

I'm not sure...

...How?

[cest_untrap]

People only see what they want to see.

...what do you mean?

[pingifneeded]

I've spent my whole life trying to be what other people want me to be, and whenever I'm truly myself, it's kind of a disaster.

[cest_untrap]

Maybe you just... weren't around the right people.

[pingifneeded]

There must be a lot of wrong people, then.

Well, like I said. It's all over now.

I guess I may have to find a new wardrobe.
