I thought about it. I’d just run out of things to draw.

[otttto]

[dreas]

I don’t think you’re bad with people.

OTTO.
I almost didn’t go to the prom at the weekend. I still don’t really know how to have a conversation, so I was going to stay at home. So. I’m really not very good.

[otttto]

but you did go. i just stayed home with dino

Otto.

[dreas]

Counterpoint: you stayed at home with Dino because you knew you’d have a better time of it.

If Stevie hadn’t been there I would’ve stayed home too. I am also just […] extremely well versed in remaining in situations where I feel uncomfortable because it seems inappropriate to act.

I have the strength to admit the things I cannot change. Two decades of habit.

I would love to say I’m enjoying it, but I can’t.

bot.

[otttto]

what do you mean

bot.

[dreas]

I don’t know whether being a time wrangler is right for me. They’re outgoing, assertive. I can’t be anything else so I have to consider the possibility that I don’t pass the assessments.

bot.

[otttto]

that's like kind of extreme bri

bot.

[dreas]

I’m not allowed to fail, Otto.

bot.

[otttto]

bot.

[dreas]

I crucify myself for the rest of my life.

[…] I don’t expect you to understand. It’s fine.

Re: bot.

[otttto]

You don’t understand

True. But I want to do well.
