[ they listen to the lyrics carefully. ]

Kara. This is beautiful.

[curvaceous]

Really? I think it's super cheesy. LOL. Yours is so cute though.

I'm glad you're happy!!! :D

[tinged]

Cheese is good. Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t like cheese?

Tell me how he makes you happy. Are you still feeling hesitant about everything?

[curvaceous]

It's alright. Not the greatest tbh, but I'll eat it :D

And...maybe. I don't know. It feels right, but I get nervous! Opening up is hard.

[tinged]

Kara!! Could you look a fluffy Japanese cheesecake in the eye and say that??

It is certainly hard, but worthwhile, isn’t it?

[curvaceous]

Whoa, whoa, cheescakes are the BEST form of cheese, okay!

And yeah, I think so.

I just hope I don't fuck this up too badly

[tinged]

Agreed.

In what way? I think it’s good that you’re allowing some room for mistakes.

[curvaceous]

I don't know.

Like, maybe he'll see how awful I am one day or something. You know?

...

Why am I telling you this? Sorry, didn't mean to TMI.

[tinged]

Well, if you don't say it to me, who loves you, then you'll say it to yourself anyway. And I don't think you like yourself much sometimes.

You're not awful, Kara.

[curvaceous]

Haha. Thanks, Hani.

You're not so bad, yourself.

Do you think this experience has taught you a lot?

[tinged]

Yes.

Though at my core, I'm still me. Sometimes I feel closer to everyone, like I'm walking with you all. And it's nice.

And some days, I'm gazing at everyone through a glass wall. You all gather and you laugh and you love. You cry and live. And I feel affection in me as I watch, but it's distant, even more so than the wall that separates us. But that's fine. I don't care, really.

[curvaceous]

You say you don't care, but you cared enough to make that observation, at least.

You're learning to understand yourself, aren't you?

[tinged]

I suppose. I think it's more important that people accept me first, understanding is optional.

[curvaceous]

Do you feel like people haven't accepted you?

[tinged]

It happens, I'm sure. Whether I'm aware of it or not. But I've met people on my travels who haven't.

[curvaceous]

What about here, in this MMO?

Have people accepted you here?

[tinged]

Not everyone.

And you, Kara?

[curvaceous]

Not everyone.

Are you in love with Justy because you think he has?

[tinged]

He does accept all of me, but I’m in love with him because it’s him.

Why do you love your cute boy?

[curvaceous]

[ ... ]

Because it's him, yeah.

I want to understand the good and bad parts about him.

Even if he's flawed, well, aren't we all? And I wouldn't accept any other version of him that wasn't him being himself.

[tinged]

Kara, copy and paste your entire e-mail. Then press CTRL + F to find every instance of “he” and “him,” replace those with “she” and “her.”

[curvaceous]

Huh??? Why??? Do you want me to send it to you? Is this about the other person you're in love with?

[tinged]

No. Send it to your beloved and ask him if that’s what he thinks about you.

[curvaceous]

YOU'RE SO EMBARRASSING!!

[ it's done ]
