UU: i havent the faintest idea what yoUve been talking aboUt. maybe my lover and my dear friend are simply mistaking my work fatigUe for something more... esoteric. u_u
GG: "If I had but lips to kiss with..."
GG: Your body. The way you inhabit the world.
GG: I could slap myself silly for not having put the pieces together earlier.
UU: thats preposteroUs. i believe i was very clear when i annoUnced to everyone that i am over my fleeting body image issUes and no longer have attachments to Unrealistic ideals.
GG: Yes, everyone could hear you the first, second, and third through sixth time that you announced this to everyone for the first time.
GG: So is that why you always hide in the darkness, and always wear those suffocating layered outfits and morbid veils?
UU: are, they not simply an expression of my preferred fashion? :u
GG: That is the question, isn't it.
GG: Calliope. My dearest and oldest friend.
GG: Do you remember the first time we met face to face?
GG: That strange little dream we all shared for a fleeting night, just you, me, and my sister, telling stories together on an imaginary stage.
GG: That...
GG: That was you, wasn't it?
UU: of coUrse it was me! who... else woUld it be, hee hee?
GG: No, I mean.
GG: That face. That beautiful slate-grey face, that ruffle of pearly hair, that big, bright smile, those fetching teeth, that shy little sulk where you got nervous before I hugged you...
GG: That was your face, wasn't it, Callie?
GG: Not just a mask to hide behind.
GG: That was the real you...
UU: ...
UU: please know that i say this with no ill will, for i know yoUr intentions are noble and loving:
UU: yoU need to stay oUt of this part of my life.
