"if i shoot you now are we still going to be friends afterwards?"

without missing a beat he says "we were never friends"

you were confused "wh-what about all that stuff you told me?"

"yeah i did tell you a lot of stuff didn't i?" he sighs while speaking "not looking forward to thinking about that tomorrow"

"No. no no no" youy interrupt "we're not doing this. You're-you're not gonna look me in my eye and tell me nothing we've been doing together meant anything to you because i know that's not true."

he stares at you blankly before smirking "are you coming onto me?" he says playfully before turning sarcastic "yeah that's what everyone wants, a straight couple"

you groan annoyed "oh my god, can you take this seriously? can you take anything seriously?"

his voice softens slightly but keeps that playful edge in his tone "dude, your a cartoon clown, how am i supposed to take you seriously"

"wha-i..." you stumble over your words slightly "you reached out to me, not the other way around, your just gonna pretend that didn't happen?"

he tried to keep up his playful demeanor but you could hear it fading "you must be misremembering"

"is this why you didn't show to kaufmo's funeral?" curiosity and anger seeps into your voice

"I don't show to any funerals" he smirks

you snap "yeah I bet you don't, because you're scared. Y-you're scared you'll actually show a human emotion"

"I'm scarfed I'll be bored to tears" he teases overdramatically

"Have you ever thought this might be what causes people to abstract in the first place"

he laughs bitterly "oh my god, are you seriously gonna blame me for something everybody else did too?! You didn't even know him! You don't even know what people are like before they abstract!" his voice gets harsher and louder with each word "They are not pleasant to be around, like at all! you-" he scoffs and smiles eerily

"I-I'm sorry" you immediately say

he clicks his tongue, his smile dropping, his eyes narrowing "im sure you are"

he turns around and rubs the back of his neck, forcing a smile "whooo man, this is all sorts of embarrassing, huh? So, you gonna shoot me or what?" he jokes playfully

you stand there in shock for a second at his sudden change in demeanor before finding your voice "...what would you do if I abstracted tomorrow?"

he looks back at you, his expression serious "i'd move on, and probably forget about you" he smiles creepily with that last part, tilting his head to the side slightly
