stork daddy "it's so strange. you seem like the only good person to have come out of this whole ordeal. how did you not give in here or there, when the chance provided itself for an easy this or that at some cost to others?"

"i guess i just never really thought about it. dishonesty, all of that, it never really seemed an option. and i was lucky enough to keep myself out of complicated situations. maybe i looked unsophisticated at times, but what need does a smiling man have for sophistication? right?"

"but does it even really feel good when you're the only one doing it?"

"i don't really follow."

"i mean, does it feel like you're doing good, when you know in your heart that to do the opposite not only occurred to you, but sometimes feels just as easy."

"well now you're the one who's making it seem too uncomplicated. what's good or bad? i just tried to be nice. i tried not to be too soft on myself with what i need, because then you start being spoiled and you start excusing yourself when you use others. and the fact that you feel like either would be just as easy, well i think that's what makes it good, if it is good. after a while, it wouldn't be easy to change who i was. at least that was the plan. i've kind of forgotten what that kind of thinking feels like. maybe that's bad. i don't know."

"no, i don't think so. you seem so happy all the time."

"i'm not trying to trick you i swear."
