[ our midsommar era is hopefully over, and todomatsu is back by the pyre in his pink hoodie and rolled up jeans like god intended, taking pictures of the profiles with his phone.

looks at tomi... looks at his profile... looks back... ]

All right, let's get the bad first impression over with.

[ absolutely we are done with our midsommar cosplay but dude is in a hawaiian shirt, shorts, and sandals. he's already dying out here. ]

C'mon man, give me a break.

[ ...

shrugs. ]

Not great, but could've been worse.

You think I'm trying to give a bad impression? Give me some credit dude, I didn't even write that.

I'd give you more credit if you had a sense of humor about it. I mean, I was giving you a pretty good opening to disprove the accusation there.

[ oh god i lost this tag im sorry real eric ]

This is probably one of the worst situations to be in and have a sense of humor about.

[ help it's fine i've lost so many tags, w0 is just me drowning horribly every game ]

Okay, but those two things aren't intrinsically linked, you know? People in bad situations use humor to cope all the time.

I'm just trying to keep it together here, man.

Well, good luck with that...

Yeah, thanks. [ actually not ironically but also still incredibly stressed ]
