a secret life session five compilation of my favorite silly moments (ft. my poor phone quality camera)
Transcript below cut (did it for fun; this is the first time I've done one):
[Jimmy]: No?
[Martyn]: Wait- so wait. You're not the ghost horse?
[Martyn]: I thought you were ghost rider! Who's ghost rider?
[Jimmy]: ...Who is that?
[Martyn]: I mean we could always punch them and find out.
[Jimmy]: Yeah.
(Immediately sword crits Lizzie)
[Martyn]: AH...
[Jimmy]: OH MY GO-
(Long Pause)
[Jimmy]: NO! NO. NO.
[Martyn, overlapping]: What did you do?!
~~~
[Mumbo]: Who wants to have a competition with me? How many times can yoou jump over this campfire?
[Martyn]: Uhh, sure?
[Mumbo]: 'Kay.
(Mumbo takes damage while jumping over the campfire)
[Martyn]: Oh, jeez.
[Pearl, exasperated]: Mumbo...
[Cleo, fairly amused] Mumbo...
[Pearl]: Zero, appearantly.
[Mumbo]: So, I- I've set the score at zero.
(Martyn tries and succeeds)
[Mumbo]: Ooo, okay.
[Martyn]: There you go.
[Mumbo]: You already got one.
[Pearl]: Mumbo...what are you doing..?
(Mumbo jumps again and takes damage again)
[Mumbo]: Okay...
[Cleo, laughing]: Mumbo..!
(Martyn tries it again and jumos over it flawlessly, again)
[Mumbo]: Zero again for me.
[Pearl, overlapping]: Mumbo, stop-
~~~
[Tango]: You got spleefed by an enderman. I love it.
[Etho, doing a poor imitation of Bdubs]: Sheesh! I'm late! Judas Priest! Let me park my horse. I'm coming up!
(Heart Foundation's laughs + Grian's hysterical laughter overlapping with his talking)
[Grian]: Hi, "Bdubs."
[Skizz]: This thing's not ready because-
[Etho, still doing that impression]: What is this?--
~~~
[Lizzie]: I'm going.
[Tango]: Lizzie, we missed your party!
[Lizzie]: Oh, did you?
[Skizz]: We're so sorry.
[Lizzie]: Oh, I didn't notice because I was having so much fun with the one person that turned up! Goodbye, everybody!
(Heart Foundation all "aww"-ing out of sympathy)
~~~
[Cleo]: If you go to- If you go and do levels in the end you can like-- like I got seven, so.
[Gem]: Wowww.
[Cleo]: Hi, biggest, bravest, boy!
[Bdubs]: Thank you! I am!
(Cleo wheeze)
~~~
[Bdubs]: Okay. Yes?
[Etho, overlapping]: Look at this guy.
[Grian, very monotone]: Bdubs, my beloved. You've returned.
[Bdubs]: Wait- both of you? I'm gonna puke--
~~~
[Joel]: What is Pearl building???
[Gem, hidden beneath Mumbo's laughter]: You should just...admit defeat, if I'm being honest.
[Joel, overlapping]: Pearl...
[Joel again, deeply distressed]: WH- WHY HAVE YOU GONE FOR THIS COLOR SCHEME, PEARL??? WHY THIS SHAPE AND THIS COLOR SCHEME, PEARL????

matty seeing girlie *politely and professionally* cuss someone out in her lawyer mindset and it rlly gets him going
OOH OOH one time vee @abiiors and i talked about you and matty getting called into the school because elena punched a boy in the face because he was bullying her big sister - matty gets there first and has to listen to this obnoxious dad be like "your daughter broke my son's nose (she did not) i want discipline", all the while thinking Just You Wait Until My Wife Gets Here.
he swoons when you rock up in your work clothes and your heels (red lip optional but it would be so cunty i fear), and does his best not to smirk while you sit through listening to this fucking awful excuse for a father complain about how his son is an angel and would never do anything wrong and your daughters are feral and should be expelled with a raised eyebrow and folded arms, because he knows you're about to tear this arsehole a new one. you do, but in a lawyerly way; you literally pull handouts from your bag for everyone like "email transcripts from the past six weeks, detailing the problems your supposed angel of a child has ben causing my eldest daughter, beginning with a note from their class teacher to apologise for the bruising dylan came home with after he deliberately pushed her off a swing set and to inform us he would be duly disciplined in class, and hopefully at home too, as the email had been sent to you and your family as well. the rest of the transcripts are emails from myself to the class and head teachers, explaining that dylan has since been scared to go to school due to further bullying, and asking if something could be done about this rapidly escalating situation. i don't necessarily condone my younger daughter's actions, although i am proud of her for standing up for her sister, but if you had bothered to deal with your child's behaviour before now then she wouldn't have had to resort to violence to stop her older sister being targeted". the headteacher is (rightfully) mortified, the man is IRATE, and matty's not sure he's ever fancied you more in his life. and then he has to rescind that, because the man tries to pull the "oh, i'm sure my son's only acting like that because he fancies her!" card, and you just say "children learn behaviours, though - you implying that your son equates affection with violence also implies someone in the immediate family thinks so, too. in that case, maybe best to get social work involved. i'm sure they'd be very interested to hear that" - he's spluttering out denials (which don't sound too convincing), and you just stand up and say "i think we're done here. we'll speak to elena about her methods of tackling injustice. and i hope your son's bruising isn't too severe - we can testify from dylan's that arnica ointment helps, though. have a good weekend" and grab matty and leave. he keeps it together until you pick up the girls and take them home, and then he distracts them by putting spongebob on before he pulls you into the utility room and just kisses you until you're lightheaded; he pulls away like "i love you i'm in awe of you and you're so hot that if i don't go down on you in the next two minutes i might die. i'm not even kidding like you ended that stupid cunt. ENDED. sexiest fucking thing i've ever seen. please for the love of god let me make you cum" lol. you're like "you've only got eight minutes until the episode ends and the girls start wandering", and matty lifts you onto the counter and says "plenty of time" and yeah he's right he gets you off with time to spare. i do think the girls are maybe sent off on a last minute sleepover at uncle george's that night, though, lmao, so matty can show his appreciation of you a bit more thoroughly in peace. hot <3

[CN] Shaw's bday ASMR - Summer Night Rhythm
⚡Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for an ASMR which hasn't released in EN yet!⚡
Tumblr media
[Transcript under the cut!]
Please please read the transcript along the video as to not to miss out his raspy, sleepy voice 💦
[sound of door knocking and cicada's]
came fast enough
It seems that you are very interested in my remodeled room
Okay
Getting smarter
I just took pictures of only one corner of the room on purpose
So that some "curious rabbits"
come bouncing
Eh
Why did you open your mouth and bite?
Don't mess with you?
Then i can't do that 
[MC bite shaw]
Hiss
OK, OK, OK.
You are very tired from working overtime these days
Soreness all over the body
Bad mood
You should be treated as a bodhisattva
[shaw cuckles]
Stop teasing you
Go inside
[sound of footsteps + shaw breathing] 
Just okay?
[shaw clicks his tongue]
The requirements are quite high
[sound of pressing buttons]
What about this
[shaw laughs]
Not bad
These sensor lights didn't take that much effort
I just did some stuff casually
Play the game this way 
It's more exciting when you watch a movie.
And when some people come to “board”
I won't trip over things when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Don't know
I thought it was some thief going on duty for the first time
Clumsy
[MC beats shaw and bit him AGAIN]
Ah hiss
You're addicted to biting, right?
Why don't you put a row of tooth marks on my arm?
Then donate me to a museum
I have thought of the title of the work for you
just call
"Daily Life of a Rogue Rabbit"
[MC start walking out of the room and shaw grabbing her midway]
where are you going?
Angry?
Oh.... to turn on the lights
No need
Let's leave it like that.
Why are you looking at me with that expression?
What are you laughing at?
You're the one who got the wrong idea.
[shaw purposely lowering his voice to an octave]
Or are you thinking wrongly?
I see you are tired from work these two days
Dimly lit environment
Helps you relax a bit
[shaw clicks his tongue]
However
You really got it right today
Come
I'll show you a good thing
My new massage sofa
Isn't it a backache?
Come 
try
Comfortable?
The more comfortable ones are still behind.
I’ll adjust the first rate strength for you to begin off
[beeping sound]
Of course not bad
When have I ever gone wrong when I picked something
They’re all first class goods
what
only you can enjoy
Let me stand around and stare?
I won't do such a wasteful thing
If you don't want to be oppressed by me
just sit down
[shaw joins MC on the massaging chair]
Too crowded?
[shaw cuckles lightly]
Usually one meter eight of the bed is squeezed into one meter two by you
Why didn't I hear you complaining about that
[low humming sound of the massage chair + shaw breathing sounds]
Don't worry
I've asked
Although this is not a massage sofa for two people
But it’s okay for two people to use it at the same time
[rustling of clothes sound???]
It's okay
very comfortable
But isn't the strength a little bit less powerful?
Don’t you think so too?
[beeping + buzzing sounds from the chair + shaw moaning sounds]
What's wrong
Not enjoying the power of technology
You're afraid I'll fall asleep
i didn't slept
just close your eyes
What are you doing
So concerned about whether I am sleepy or not
[shaw yawns]
oh
Want to go out and watch a movie?
sure
Go later
[rustling of clothes + shaw clicking his tongue]
What are you messing with?
be honest
Didn't say not to go out to see
Let me get a rest for a while
Who said that if I shut my eyes for a while, it takes three hours
[shaw sleepy voice]
save your energy
tickling doesn't work on me
How come you got serious
[shaw grabs MC hands and whispers in a sleepy voice]
I've said it all, just sleep for a while
[continuous humming sound + shaw steady breathing]
Not asleep and awake
[from here on you’ll hear his raspy, sleepy voice which sounds so sexy]
Hey
Where are you putting your hands?
Thanks to you
I'm fully awake now
It's time to settle
Admit defeat?
I haven't done anything yet
Just surrendered straight away?
that's not right 
It can't be so easy
Itchy?
So you know how itchy it is too
then bear with it
I won't stop easily
you didn't find yourself
You’re extra rebellious today?
hmmmm
Ii’s right to just don't admit it
Rebels are like this
So ....
Got to cure
what am i doing
what else can i do
Of course, to settle the score
We got it back one by one
It won't take long.
that is
Just before dawn, I guess

Transcript:
Oh, wait, what is this?
Wait wait wait, this is all wrong! This isn't The Stanley Parable, this is a game where you press a button and it says 'eight'!
Not only is The Stanley Parable not a game about continuously pressing the number 'eight', I can guarantee that this button does not appear anywhere in the full game.
Why is this here instead of the demo for The Stanley Parable! Where did the demo go?! There was an actual demo here before, something has gone wrong, it's all gone horribly wrong!
We need to get you out of here before you start forming impressions of The Stanley Parable based on whatever the hell this 'eight' game is. We need to get out, we need to start all over, you mustn't stay here another minute! OUT! OUT! OUT! GO GO GO!
Now I think you've misunderstood me, so let me reiterate as clearly as I can: This is not The Stanley Parable! What you are doing is pushing a button over and over that does nothing but speak the word 'eight'. Has that gotten through?
You may be continuing to press this button under the impression that you're playing The Stanley Parable right now - an assumption that is, I should remind you again, entirely erroneous.
It doesn't even make sense, why would I have gone to all of this elaborate setup just to demonstrate a game that doesn't do a single thing except repeat the word 'eight'.
The waiting room, the green room, the tour of the facility, all of that for no reason other than to contextualize and build up this particular game? Why?! What about this game deserves any of that time and attention? Are you seeing something in it that I'm not?
Okay, so here's the deal: It isn't possible that you still think this is The Stanley Parable. I've restated the fact too many times.
Which means you are now consciously choosing to delay the actual demo as long as possible, is that it? Are you afraid of The Stanley Parable?
I suppose another possibility is that you can't hear me because you're playing with the sound off. In which case what are you even getting out of this "eight" game in the first place? This scenario is perhaps even MORE concerning.
You really are finding this amusing, aren't you. The experience of pushing a button and it says "eight". Is this intrinsically captivating to you on its own, as a legitimate experience?
I mean, I'm starting to wrap my head around the idea but it's not all the way there. *sigh* I guess I shouldn't be surprised, this is coming from the person who sat in the waiting room when the door was open right there.
If you're the kind of person this demo is targeting, I guess I should be a little concerned for our sales numbers.
The funny thing is you haven't even played The Stanley Parable yet. How can you be so sure that this is the better game? Is this simply more compelling than you imagine The Stanley Parable to be?
Have you formed such a rich vision of the game already? What exactly did I do that gave you such a miserable, awful impression of what it's like to play The Stanley Parable? Was it the dance? Yes, it was almost certainly the dance. I regret that now.
Well, the good part is that if this is your metric for quality in a game, when we DO get to The Stanley Parable, you'll be THRILLED! SHOCKED! BLOWN AWAY! Every one of your faculties will be enraptured by the experience of a game that does anything more than say "eight" over and over.
Yes, I can't wait for your entire world to be shattered and rebuilt, a magical moment we'll all share together.
Ok, I'm not going to pretend I don't know what's going on here. You are so utterly compelled by this game that you don't intend to stop playing it until you pass out from physical exhaustion.
Well, tell you what: I'll just be right here and wait for you to finish, I'm sure that The Stanley Parable demo will still be out there somewhere when you're all done.
In the mean time, I'm going to stop acknowledging you and just let you get it out of your system. Please, enjoy the "eight" game; take as much time as you need!

Get to Know My OC [tag game]
nobody tagged me. i tagged myself! bcs i'm procrastinating on drafting ipap lol!!
Transcript of Interview with Huang Xiodan a.k.a. Darren Huang.
Interviewer: Good morning, Mr. Huang. Have a seat, please.
Darren: Right here?
Interviewer: Yes. Or anywhere that's most comfortable for you.
Darren: Right. [chair scraping] Thank you. You can just call me Darren, by the way.
Interviewer: Sure, if that's your preference. Darren, I'll be asking you a few questions today. Feel free to answer them however you like.
(Darren is visibly uncomfortable. He wrings his hands together.)
Darren: Is this being recorded? For a... magazine or an article or something? If so, then sorry, I'm not interested.
Interviewer: Yes, this interview is being recorded. However, rest assured what you say in this room is strictly confidential. It will neither be published nor distributed.
(Darren appears somewhat comforted, though he still seems wary.)
Interviewer: First question.
(From this point onward, unless otherwise indicated, assume all words spoken besides the questions themselves are the words of Huang Xiaodan.)
Are you named after anyone?
Not that I'm aware.
2. When was the last time you cried?
[laughs nervously] Not holding back, huh? Uh, I don't know? Maybe... (He purses his lips.) Uh, yeah. I don't know.
3. Do you have kids?
Are you saying I look old enough to have kids to you? [laughs] I'm joking. But no, no kids. They're cute, but not interested in them. (He stares at his hands.) At least, not right now. Wait, you promise this isn't for some magazine or anything, right? Disregard my previous statement if it is.
(He calms down once I reassure him his statements will indeed remain confidential.)
Right, sorry. It's just been a while since I've done something like this.
4. Do you use sarcasm?
Sometimes. (He looks to the distance, smiling fondly.) Not as much as Naia, though. Have you interviewed her? Holy shit, I'd love to know what she said. Huh? I can't? Oh, right. Confidentiality. (He flashes a smile and cocks his head.) Not even a little? No? Aw, man.
5. What's the first thing you notice about people?
Whether they're smiling. I think you can tell a lot about someone by seeing whether they're smiling the first time they meet you. Helps me tell whether they might already like me or not. It's why Zeke gave me all the wrong vibes first time I saw him.
6. What's your eye colour?
Just basic brown. I think they're nice, though. But if I could have any other eye colour it'd be gold. Ooh, or I'd want to have heterochromia and have one eye be gold and the other brown. That'd be cool.
7. Scary movie or happy endings?
Happy endings. [pauses] Definitely happy endings. (He smiles. It is somewhat rigid.) But I've watched my fair share of scary movies because of Naia. Not my cup of tea. Let's just leave it at that.
8. Any special talents?
There's not much I can't do, you know? [laughs] That sounds like such a brag. But I am. Bragging. I can paint, waltz, sing, act, sculpt, write some impeccable Chinese calligraphy—and that's not even mentioning the instruments I can play. Piano, violin, cello, harp, flute. You name it, I can probably play it. Oh, but wanna know my coolest talent? I'm Candy Cupid. (He grins.) What's that? Oh, I'm so glad you asked. Basically, I can match people with their favourite candy. I just know. Every person has their own candy soulmate. It's like—
(He speaks at length of his Candy Cupid talent. The rest of the transcript has been cut for brevity's sake.)
9. Where were you born?
Shanghai. Beautiful place, you know? Even after moving, I went back there a lot as a kid. Wouldn't go again.
10. What are your hobbies?
I uh... [laughs sheepishly] I like knitting. You swear nobody's gonna publish this, right?
11. Have you any pets?
Nah. I'm not home a lot. Would be really mean for me to have a pet. But I'd love to have a polar bear. Have you seen them wet? They look so pathetic. It's hilarious. Don't tell Naia I called them that, though.
12. What sports do you play/have played?
I mean... you wanna hear me start bragging again? [laughs] I was trained to play any sport there is. Again, you name it, I can play it. I'm a monster at tennis, though. Dominate the court.
13. How tall are you?
Six foot one. And I swear I'm not lying!
14. Favourite subject in school?
Chemistry, no contest. Think that's pretty obvious given I literally teach it for a living. But yeah, I loved it. Still do.
15. Dream job?
Having my own app where I match people with their favourite candies. Like Tinder, you know? [laughs] No, but on a more serious note, I really enjoy being a chemistry teacher. Wouldn't want any other job. Plus, I get to bother Naia all day. So, I love my job. Which is crazy to say aloud, because who loves their job?
Interviewer: Alright, thank you—
Darren: Oh, that's it?
(He appears disappointed.)
Interviewer: Yes, that's all the questions I have for you today, Darren. Thank you for your time.
Darren: Right. Of course. No problem. It was a pleasure. (He extends his hand.)
Interviewer: Likewise.
(I shake his hand. Darren stands from his chair, pushes it back in. At the door, he bows his head slightly and smiles. He leaves the room.)

___________________________________
Date Night || Gojo Satoru
Gojo takes you out to dinner, but the flirty waitress at the restaurant really gets on your nerves, so Gojo is determined to assure you that he only has eyes for you.
~ Words: 2.5k
~ NSFW 18+
Tumblr media
___________________________________
"I'm glad I got to see you tonight, I've missed my princess," he leaned across the table to nuzzle his nose against yours gently, and you returned the same motion with a soft giggle.
"I've missed you too," you replied, "it's about time you made some time for me," you added.
"Well, you know, Tokyo keeps me busy," he told you with a chuckle, "but I had to take my best girl out, I know how lonely she gets without me around," he teased.
You giggled and propped your elbow up on the dinner table, balancing your chin in your hand as you held his gaze. He was smiling and shaking his head at you, mimicking your pose, only he rested both elbows on the table and cupped his face with his hands as he looked at you from across the table.
"You look beautiful in that dress by the way, but what else is new, huh?" he winked and broke eye contact for a moment to admire the dress that perfectly hugged your figure, "I'm glad you wore it."
You giggled again at that and twirled a small section of hair around your index finger, smiling down at your lap for a moment before you looked back up at him.
"I'm glad you wore that suit and tie. You should wear it more often, because you clean up pretty well," you grinned and leaned forward slightly to whisper, "by the way, you're really pretty too."
"Am I really pretty?" he joked and batted his lashes, letting his jaw hang slack with a smirk that tugged at the corners of his mouth over the way you instantly cracked up laughing. He chuckled airily as he continued to look you up and down, and you had to turn away in attempt to hide the deep blossoming of your cheeks.
"Yes, you're very pretty," you said with a soft chuckle when you turned back to him.
..
"Good evening, can I get you anything?"
A young waitress made her way onto the scene before Gojo could respond to you, and she appeared to be addressing just him rather than both of you. She beamed brightly at him and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, letting out a hint of a giggle that you couldn't help but roll your eyes at.
"Some menus would be nice," he grinned up at her and she flaunted her smile right back at him, making it a mission to maintain eye contact for as long as possible and throw in a bat of the lashes here and there.
"I'll go get those for you right now," she bowed her head and smiled softly, but she didn't leave until she'd make a point of leaning towards him slightly to tell him, "by the way, that tie looks great on you, really compliments your complexion."
She was already flirting with him right in front of you whilst being so brazen about it, and it was really taking everything in you not to totally snap. You didn't want dinner to be spoiled by your temper, though, you could already feel yourself starting to lose your appetite because you were red hot with anger right now. You sat there silently and waited for her to leave, gritting your teeth and casting your gaze downward the entire time.
"Thank you very much," he thanked her before she walked away and when he turned back around to face you, he was greeted by raised brows, pursed lips and your eyes glimmering for the wrong reasons. You half-smirked at him and cleared your throat whilst picking at your nails to avoid looking up at him.
"I think she's expecting a tip from you tonight," you managed to make a joke out of it and mustered a small laugh.
He chuckled lightly and acted completely dismissive about it, waving it off as her following some sort of transcript, "It's just service with a smile, Y/N."
He insisted, but you just forced a smile on your face. You fiddled with the cutlery that rested to your side and toyed with the napkin as well, offering yourself a distraction rather than look up at him for the moment.
"Yeah, too many smiles in your direction, though, if you ask me," you sassed, and he laughed loudly at that.
"Babe, something the matter?" he raised an eyebrow curiously, an amused grin on his face. Before you had the time to open your mouth and retort, she soon returned with the menus.
She carelessly laid yours down in front of you while she actually handed Gojo his, making sure to brush her hand over his as she did so. You glared at her but your look went missed, and you were doing a pretty good job of keeping your mouth shut so far, no matter how badly you wanted to tell this girl to back off.
She started babbling on about something that he should try on the menu, ensuring to flash him her smile and bat her lashes some more. She was giggling like he had told the funniest joke, and you were clutching onto a fork tightly with a hand, thinking about digging it deep into her neck. Gojo was a bad influence on you. She brought her hand closer to his so she could flip through the pages and show him exactly what she was describing. You cleared your throat and decided to speak up, because this girl was getting on your last nerve.
"Could you give us a few moments to decide what we're having? Thank you," you gave her possibly the most painfully forced smile you could muster, somehow managing to keep a level head when she withdrew her hand and acknowledged you for the first time since she'd stop at your table. She simply nodded and smiled meekly before walking away, and Gojo’s bright blue eyes shot towards you to give you a look that was nothing short of sheer surprise at how sharp you'd been in your manner of speech.
"Did I miss something?" he cracked up laughing, "My little kitten's got a sharp set of claws, eh?" he remarked before his laughter starting to die down. "I thought she was a rather nice lady," he said with another chuckle.
He scanned over the menu to find a dish that stood out to him. You squinted at him and leaned into him, lightly bringing the menu down to have him look you in the eyes instead.
"Really, Satoru? I wouldn't class the light touches on the hand, the needless giggling and overall acting like a fucking schoolgirl with a crush as just 'being nice'," you snapped slightly, "she's flirting with you, a lot, and I'm sick of it."
"Oh, I see where this is going," he said with a knowing smirk that stretched its way across his lips a few seconds later. You noticed this and your hand targeted your menu in an instant as some form of shield to hide behind to avoid the stares he was giving you, and he lowered your menu down just like you had done to him.
"I think somebody's jealous when she really doesn't need to be," he sang and kept his eyes trained on your face. "So what if she's flirting a little bit? I'm not interested in the slightest," he told you, and you heaved a sigh before he continued, "you have nothing to worry about, my sweet," he said with a smirk, amused with your envy.
"Seriously? You mean that?" you asked, nibbling on your lower lip.
"Course I do," he said, "she could be on her knees begging for my cock and I would say no if that'd make you feel better about it," he finished, and you laughed at that.
"I'm not even feeling that hungry anymore," you said, "she's just so irritating," you huffed, and he looked at you like he was thinking of something until his brain hatched an idea.
"Forget about dinner, I know what will cheer you up, c'mon," he stretched his arm out for you to grab his hand, and you quickly took it in yours. He walked with you until you both reached the closest bathroom - the women's room.
"Um, Satoru, I don't think you're supposed to be in here," you quipped with a short giggle.
"Oh trust me, I am," he cooed. Once the door was closed, he lifted you up by your thighs and pinned you to the wall, his lips attacking your neck in little bites and harsh kisses, not caring about the purple marks he left in his wake.
"Satoru," you gasped his name out, much to his delight.
You let out a soft moan of approval through your own lips as you lifted your hips up in absolute desperation, wanting more of him, and wanting it now.
"I only have eyes for you, Y/N, you and only you," he told you as he continued to cover your neck in wet kisses, and you couldn't help lean your head back to give him easier access. Realizing that you both were still out in the open, he carried you into the bathroom stall, pressing you up against the nearest and sturdiest wall.
He tugged his pants down from his hips and quickly pushed his boxers down to his knees, just far enough to allow his thick and fully hard member to spring up. He nearly ripped your panties down your thighs and threw them to the floor, holding you up with one hand and using the other to glide up your thigh, one finger slipping up your wet folds. He grinned knowingly before he leaned in to growl in your ear, "Look at how wet for me you already are," he hummed, "mm, how bad do you want me?"
Just the slightest touch drove you absolutely wild, and you seemed to forget everything that took place before he brought you in this stall. You keened in the back of your throat and rocked your hips down against his finger, moaning out, "Fuck me, Satoru. I need you so bad. Please!" you cried.
"Well when you say it like that, I don't see how I could say no," he cooed. He grasped his member firmly until he was lined up to your entrance, exhaling loudly as he crouched down to push in. He took his time entering your body at first, watching the pleasure overcome your features. Once you had adjusted to his girth, he set a rough pace, taking you quickly in broad deep strokes that jarred your body and caused your head to slam back into the wall as you surrendered yourself to his movements, hips grinding forward in an attempt to keep tempo. He doesn't waste time going slow, knowing you both needed relief fast.
Grasping his shoulders tightly, you moaned, the volume increasing with each thrust until you were sure you would both get caught.
"That's it, let the whole goddamn restaurant know who's fucking you," he managed to say between his own moans and grunts. "You're doing so good, baby, so good," he praised.
You answered with an even louder moan, shoving your hips forward in a demand for him to go faster, grinding your clit against his pelvis whenever you could.
"Your cunt feels so fucking perfect, squeezing me like this, fuck," he ground out.
He obliged your command, snapping his hips into yours relentlessly, the sounds spilling from your lips urging him on.
"You look so good baby, you always do," he uttered through a pant, "you fucking drive me crazy." He quickly added, "Do you know how beautiful you look when you're all stretched out on my cock?"
One hand gripped onto your hair and he tugged backwards just enough to show you dominance as he pounded into you with no mercy, the sounds of your high pitched moans bouncing off the walls, mixed with his deep grunts and the sound of hot skin slapping against skin.
"Look at you, you're always so fucking pretty, so fucking perfect like this," he told you. His hips moved in the most sinful way, filling you up just perfectly, and he seemed to find that special spot inside you so skillfully, making you cry out in ecstasy.
"You like that, baby? You like how good I make you feel? Good girl, moaning for me and showing the entire diner who's gonna make you come," he hissed into your ear as his thrusts became more erratic, slamming into you again and again as he kept his wild pace up.
"Mmmm!" you hummed. You threw your head back and arched your torso sharply, screaming out in pleasure when your body started to quake with the sensation of your orgasm barreling towards you. His fingers left little purple prints on your hips at how tight he was squeezing your hips, knowing you were both close to your climax.
"Show me how much you like it, come for me," he rasped.
He maintained the angle of his thrusts, continually hitting a sensitive spot within your body until you were convulsing in his arms, orgasm rocking you to the very core. He wasn't far behind, taken over the edge by the tight clenching or your walls around his member.
Exhaling loudly, he relaxed his body against yours as you both came down from your peaks. The wall was the only thing keeping you both up as you wilt, exhausted from your spontaneous lovemaking. Finding the energy to pull back, he kissed you gently, running his fingers through your hair to fix the disrupted locks. You smiled into the kiss, body buzzing from your orgasm and heart glowing at his gestures.
You both cleaned up as best as you could in the stall, he helped adjust the skirt of your dress before moving to fix his own disarrayed hair.
"You had no reason to be jealous, Y/N, like I said I only have eyes for your pretty little face," he nuzzled his nose against yours, and you did the same in return, laughing with each other.
"Thank you, Satoru," you said with a soft giggle when you stepped out of the bathroom stall with him.
"Anything for you, babe," he told you as he intertwined his fingers with yours, walking out with you, "now let's go eat," he started, "we can even put on a little show for her under the table so she knows not to mess with you," he suggested with a loud laugh.
"I like the sound of that," you replied with a broad smirk on your face. That wasn't a bad idea.

Ranboo lore from 'Making it feel like home | DreamSMP' - An Extensive Recap
This is a compilation of everything you need to know from Ranboo's stream, prepared by yours truly! It skips over the revival part, since that's been already covered by other people. Enjoy!
Basic summary:
- Once Ranboo, Phil, Eret and Tubbo are back from their mission to get the totems, they all part ways
- Ranboo tells Phil that he'll go to another woodland mansion and get even more
- Upon learning that it's harder than he thought, Ranboo decides to bring Enderchest back from the panic room instead
- On his way he stops by the crater, remarking how he's always been right
- He says that he can't trust Fundy and opens the memory book for the first time this stream. Fundy is in the 'STAY AWAY' section
- He says that he trusts Enderchest a lot
- Soon after Ranboo enters the panic room Dream's voice shows up
- Dream tells Ranboo that he's part of him, and that there's two sides to Ranboo. Dream keeps convincing Ranboo that he was the one to blow up the Community House
- Eventually, Dream tells Ranboo to mine part of the wall. It reveals a hidden chest with two pieces of TNT in it
- Dream tells Ranboo that he also helped Dream with the TNT to blow up L'manberg, and that Ranboo handed Dream his memory book. He tells him to try and remember why
- After Dream's voice leaves Ranboo freaks out, trying to remember. He accepts Dream's words as true, checking the chest
- The screen goes dark and an enderman noise sounds. Soon, an image with Dream's smiley face and Ranboo's crown appears
Here's some more detailed info, split into parts.
Memory book:
'Friends:
There are no changes made to the memory book on stream. Ranboo shows what's inside the book once, and we can see that Page 2 is different. It looks like this:
Phil
Techno
Unsure:
Tubbo
Tommy
STAY AWAY:
Niki
Fundy
Conversation with Dream:
Quackity'
Here's a transcript I made of the last part in the panic room (note that I'm not a professional, so it probably contains mistakes). Dream talks like this and Ranboo talks like this.
Transcipt begins at 03:42:40 and ends at 03:51:53
"Hello"
"Y-you're back?"
"Well, I mean, I never left"
"What do you mean you never left?"
"Well, I mean, I'm in your head, I'm here all the time"
"How long have you been in my head?"
"I mean, forever, I'm just you"
"But... that- that doesn't make any sense though, because why- why now, all of a sudden? Did you just, randomly appear?"
"Well... I mean, you're looking at your book, you're looking at a smile, you're thinking about Dream..."
"Yeah"
"You think about Dream a lot"
"Yeah, I do, because he's the reason why everything is going wrong. He's the reason why there's conflict on this server"
"Mmm... do you really believe that?"
"I mean, yeah. He- if- if it wasn't for Dream everyone- there really wouldn't be that much- like there wouldn't really be one power that everyone would go against"
"Well, what are some of the bad things that Dream has done?"
"I mean, well you- you- or Dream, fights against Tommy and Tubbo all the time, starts wars, blew up L'manberg, the Community House..."
"Well, you blew up the Community House, but Dream- Dream blew up L'manberg but Techno did too, and so did Philza, and you're not complaining about them"
"Well... but the thing is they wouldn't have need- L'manberg wouldn't need to exist if you didn't... you didn't do that, and I didn't blow up the Community House, I know that I didn't do that. Cause there's no way, there's no way that I could've... done that, cause you know that I'm not that type of person"
"Yeah, I know- I know you're not that type of person, but- but you- you did do it. I mean, I'm- I- it's... your memory is just poor"
"But- but, my memory is- my memory is interesting, I remember big stuff, I would've remembered if I blew up the House, I mean-"
"Well, you- you do remember, this is- this is you"
"But- no- y-yeah, but... How? How come you remember stuff that I don't?"
"Well, I think it's- it's complicated"
"Yeah, definitely is"
"Your brain is a funny place"
"Yeah"
"I mean, there's- I see two sides of you"
"No, no, there's no- there- no- I'm- no. You're just- you're just what happens whenever I- whenever I just like panic- this is the panic room, and I've only, I've only talked to you here. So it's obvious that you're not- you're not- it must be- it has to be just something with my past, on why this is happening, there's no way that- you have any reason to be here. But I don't- I don't like- I don't like you here! I'm gonna be honest, really-"
"Well, I'm- I- I'm here all the time, it's just you never open your mind to me unless you're in the panic room. You don't let me talk unless you're in the panic room. You don't listen to me. Even if I scream, you don't listen. Unless you're in this room."
"But I don't- I don't- I don't wanna talk to you. You- you tell me things that you- that you- apparently I did, but I don't- I don't think that I  did those things, I mean- what else have I done, Dream? Because... apparently there's more. There must be more if there is an entire, just-"
"Well, I mean, you helped- you helped Dream with the TNT that he used to blow up L'manberg. You helped Dream blow up the Community House. You helped Techno, you know- survive L'manberg. And he blew up L'manberg as well. And these are some of the things that you're blaming on Dream"
"So I've been... I've been helping Dream?"
"Yeah, you've helped Dream all of the time!"
"No, no, nnnono! I- there's no way that I've been help- Why would I help Dream?"
"You tell me"
"I- Dream is the reason why there's conflict, Dream is the reason why my friends aren't able to just be happy, why would I be helping him this entire time?"
"That's- that's something you should ask yourself"
"I- But- I mean, I am asking myself, if you're- if you're part of me, then I am asking myself right now!"
"You're asking the wrong part of yourself"
"But-"
"Mine the wall"
"Mine the wall? What do you mean mine the wall?"
"Just mine the wall"
"Okay... What is this? What is it? What is this? I-"
"Open it"
"No, no, this is- this ca- no! There's no way that I helped with this! My friends aren't able to be happy, because of- because of Dream, there's no way that I've helped him!"
"You're friends with everybody. You're the one who said you don't want to pick a side"
"Yeah, but- I mean, there's a difference between just- not being on Dream's side- not- I can- I can be on Dream's side without helping him blow up things"
"I mean- you didn't help him, you did it yourself"
"Wait, so you're saying that I did these things- just solo?"
"Well, no. You did the Community House solo."
"But- but why would I just randomly do that? Cause I mean- obviously, I must've been- if I did that, then I'd be working with Dream, because... there's no way that I would just do that on my own"
"I'm sure you had your reasons, but... you don't remember them now. I mean, how did- how did Dream get your- get your memory book?"
"I don't know. I- I can't remember why"
"I can tell you why. It's cause you handed it to him."
"Why would I do that...? I- I wouldn't do that, but- Why would I give him the book to my own demise? Cause... they all see me as a traitor now. They're always gonna see me- even though they know that- even though if they say that they don't see me as a traitor, they're gonna remember. They're gonna remember that I'm a traitor- why would I give him the book that makes everyone turn against me?"
"You just have to try and remember why. You have to think. You have to remember. Just remember. Remember. Remember. Remember."
"Can't- I can't remember. I can't, I- I don't know how to remember, I don't- I don't- and he's gone again. And he's gone again. I've really betrayed everyone. There's no way that I could've done all of that. I've betrayed people more than I think. I can't remember. I can't, I- come on! Think! Think! Please! Just think, just think! No, okay- well- No, that was just- that was- that wasn't rea- That wasn't real- No, that wasn't- that- It couldn't be real, it couldn't be real. No, I didn't- I didn't do that! Come on, think! Think! Think! Please! Please just think, just think! Come on, please, please! Think! Why can't you think? Why can't you think right now?! Please!"
The ending:
Once Ranboo stops talking there's an enderman noise. After a while 'Fallen Down' from Undertale's OST starts playing and keeps playing until the stream ends.
Then this image appears and covers the entire screen. It flickers and animates, wavering slightly. After a bit text saying 'Thanks for watching :)' is placed under it.
Tumblr media
In the last 15 seconds Ranboo comes back and says that he'll see the audience in the stream tomorrow. Then it ends.

Hi!! I've been reading your blog for ours and my eyes are burning but I'm so satisfied!! I recently re read the manga after like 4 years I think? I already knew about the twins ofc but reading it again knowing that is so refreshing and is so obvious now!! Anyway I wanted to ask if I'm not being annoying; at the end of chapter 128 the interaction between o!ciel and Sebastián is not clear to me. Could it be the translation? Why does ciel asks "you wouldn't lie to me, would you?" And Sebastian replies, kinda looking sad, "regrettably I do not tell lies". Do you understand that interaction better? Sorry if I'm missing something obvious here
【Related post: Contract term 1 and Sebas cannot lie, at all!】
Dear Anon,
First of all, thank you so much for your kind words, they are very appreciated ^^ I do send my condolences for your lost hours and visual comfort though. Please take a 20 second break closing your eyes for every 20 minutes you read intensively (*´▽`*)ノ💊 It is very important in this screen age. I’ve been doing that for the past 2 weeks, and it’s done wonders for me (*~∇~*)
Now without much further ado, your question. Judging from your transcription of the English version I would say it is not badly translated. It just misses a TINY bit of nuance. Just to be sure, let us first look at the original Japanese dialogue and a clinical translation.
Tumblr media
お前は…僕に嘘は吐いていないな?
Omae wa... boku ni uso wa tsuiteinai na?
You [of all people]... have not done such thing as lying to me, right?
Tumblr media
ええ、残念ながら、私は嘘は吐きません
Ee, zannnen nagara, watashi wa uso wa tsukimasen
Indeed, unfortunately, I [of all people] do no such thing as lying.
Tumblr media
1. Explanation Ciel’s text
【Omae wa... boku ni uso wa tsuiteinai na?】
As I have frequently mentioned, Japanese is a null-subject language, which means that a subject is not necessary to formulate a full sentence. When the speaker does add a subject however, it means they are laying extra emphasis on the subject.
In this case, O!Ciel used ‘omae wa’ (you), which is the subject of the sentence. In a null-subject language this part is unnecessary, but as O!Ciel has added it, emphasis is drawn to this subject. So instead of a simple “you have not”, it effectively means “you of all people, you specifically, YOU, have not.”
【Omae wa... boku ni uso wa tsuiteinai na?】
Then O!Ciel says “uso wa” (lying) using the particle ‘wa’ instead of the usual ‘wo’. “Wa” is an emphasising particle, meaning that whatever precedes this particle is basically highlighted in neon, written in bold and italic. So rather than just: “you have not lied”, it is “you have done no such thing as lying”.
【Omae wa... boku ni uso wa tsuiteinai na?】
This last part is the only thing I would say is ““wrongly”” translated in the version you read. Instead of "you wouldn't lie", it should be “you have not lied.” This phrase is in is present perfect, meaning that O!Ciel asks his butler whether he “has lied at all in the past”. Not “you just don’t lie in general, right?” Because this question refers to actions in the past, we can assume this question is meant to refer to any information about what O!Ciel suspected might be relevant to what he is thinking; that his brother is back. More on this below in part 3.
Tumblr media
So in short, in O!Ciel’s text, he highlights Sebastian (omae wa) and the lying (uso wa). The meaning of the message here is therefore:
“Other people might have lied, but YOU have not, right? You might have done many things, but LYING you did not, right?”
2. Explanation Sebas’ text
【Ee, zannnen nagara, watashi wa uso wa tsukimasen】
In the version you gave me Sebas says “regrettably”, but I would say that while the translation is not wrong at all, it might be a BIT too strong?
I myself propose “unfortunately”. In Japanese too just like English, ‘unfortunately’ is just a formal prelude to an announcement that the recipient might not like hearing. Like: “unfortunately the X brand toothpaste is out of stock, but we do have Y brand.” But, I am no native-level speaker of English, so I don’t understand all the nuances precisely. Perhaps ‘regrettably’ and ‘unfortunately’ are equally strong. Do tell me if anyone knows whether one is stronger than the other. But either way, in Japanese it is not very strong. It’s just Sebas mentally preparing his master to hear negative news.
【Ee, zannnen nagara, watashi wa uso wa tsukimasen】
Then comes the “watashi wa uso wa tsukimasen”. Like in O!Ciel’s text, here Sebas does use a subject too, namely ‘watashi wa’. As use of subject means emphasis, so it’s not just “I don’t lie”, but “others might, but I, of all people, don’t lie”.
【Ee, zannnen nagara, watashi wa uso wa tsukimasen】
Then there is the particle ‘wa’ again in the second half of the sentence, “uso wa tsukimasen.” Just like in O!Ciel’s text, the standard particle should have been ‘wo’, but as Sebas repeats his master’s ‘wa’, he also lays emphasis on the action that he would not do: “such thing as lying.”
In short, the full message of Sebas’ text would essentially be:
“Indeed, unfortunately (for you/me/us), I of all people, unlike others, absolutely do no such thing as lying.”
3. ‘What’ was not lied about?
Now we’ve broken down all the linguistic nuances and details of the spoken text, let us do some interpreting.
Though there is no confirmation, I think we can assume O!Ciel was referring to the conversation about his brother being eaten: “you told me that the price paid - my brother’s soul - can never return.” Though this was said BEFORE they sealed the first contract term, after signing all terms, Sebas confirmed again that eating Ciel’s soul was indeed taken as ferry fee.
Tumblr media
Later again, O!Ciel asks the demon what happens to a soul after being devoured, and the contract-bound Sebas confirms in clear language: “it simply disappears”. This phrasing by Sebas is not open to interpretation.
Tumblr media
O!Ciel first saw “who stole the candy from my tummy?” and started to suspect things. Obviously he KNEW his brother was dead, so rationally he pushed that possibility away from his head. But then later he saw Soma who was attacked and holding a piece of the photo of the twins. Seeing that photo gives an explicit connection to his dead brother, and then there’d only be so much O!Ciel could rationally do to wave away the thoughts about his brother. The possibility was screaming at him, after all.
Tumblr media
The only source of information he could trust at that point was Sebas. By the time Sebas gave his master the unambiguous answer about his brother’s soul he could already no longer lie. HENCE, Real Ciel is definitely dead.
Tumblr media
Then we need to explain the horror struck reaction of O!Ciel upon hearing his butler’s confirmation.
Normally you’d think that hearing somebody is dead would reassure you that somebody cannot come pester you. But to O!Ciel, that R!Ciel is confirmed to be ‘dead’ doesn’t mean he can’t be back; on the contrary. Both O!Ciel and Sebas know painfully well that the scythe-wielding-lunatic who can create zombies is still at large. Zombies can only be made if somebody is dead. Hence, having confirmation that R!Ciel is definitely “potential zombie material” is terrible news. Plus, every time the zombies appear, they are significantly more competent than the previous models.
I think O!Ciel has always had Undertaker’s zombie-creating ambitions in the back of his mind, but it wasn’t until now that the puzzle pieces fell into place. Yeah... that IS indeed awful news.
Tumblr media
From Sebastian’s sorrowful expression we can say he is upset for his master’s sake, but I think he is mostly very sad for himself. The first time he tried to fight said scythe-wielding-lunatic he almost died, and the second time his arse was only spared because Undertaker didn’t bother engaging. “Unfortunately” indeed!
Tumblr media
Well, that was it (*´▽`*)ノ Though I am not 100% sure whether I read all of this correct, I at least hope this was some good food for thought. Cheers!

BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!
[03-07-2021] Return to the city, which I have left for several years. Bandung. A town I love, which never fails to impress me. The city always has something new around every corner.
Made an appointment to Meet an 'old friend' that I never seen or talking for many years. After talking with shitty and unnecessary chitchat then we moved to an old Kopitiam around Sudirman Street that still amazed me until now.
After many years passed, this old Kopitiam still impress me. The building, the wall arts, the decorations, the ambience, the lighting, even the people coming here still same as in the past. Many old guys and old ladies coming here only for playing capsa, chess or mahjong showdown while enjoying some Coffee or Tea with some Dimsum. They just playing happily with each other. They seems dont care that now already quite late at night. What a moments.. Reminiscing!
After feeling mesmerized, we order some of their Signature Coffee and some Dumplings. I'm shocked to know that their tastes of Coffee is consistency and never change! That's cool!
Because of nowadays I'm enjoying writting about anything, then I tell my friend that I will record all of our chitchat and conversation into an mp3 recording file. So I could make the convo's transcript to fill in into my blog :))
t r a n s c r i p t :
Me : This Kopitiam kinda reminds me about the old times that we always coming here for almost every week with our friends..
P : Ya Ya Ya.. indeed! It is not every week! But twice a week, hahaha..
It's been long story we talking about anything until I tell her about my problems.. she looks kinda shock hearing it all and seems not believe for what happening to me right now.
Yes I told her about my family's matters..
P : Oh.. ( I can see her eyes pouring some tears )
I cannot believe why you have to be an asshole by cheating to your wife? Do you know that what you have done is so heartless and hurts your wife so much? Oh ibie!! I really cannot believe what you have done!! really.. fucking asshole! (I can see some rage on her eyes!)
Me : Well, things happens! My life is fucked. And I really fully regrets! I dont know how to fix this.. Yes I know I have done something terrible.. But at that time, I feels like i lost controls to myself and everything. And at that time I feels like I dont understand myself too..
P : You dont need to make excuse for youself! Wrong is wrong.. You have no reasons to do all this fucking things!
Me : Yes I know.. and I admit that I was an asshole for doing this.. and now i really regretfully for what happened to my family..
at that time, I feels like sometimes my wife didnt love me and sometimes I feels like she never respect me.. I dont know this is only my feeling or my reasons, but yes sometimes i feels like that..
Maybe because Im an overthinker person, thats why that time I lost control to myself and doing all this bad things. But after that i feel regret.. really sad and sorry..
P : Whatever your reasons, bie! What you've done is unacceptable.. Oh I really speechless to you! fuck!
Then, have you apologize to your wife and ask for forgiveness from her? Have you explain everything to her? Are you really feel sorry now?
Me : Yes I do! As a man, I do apologize and ask for forgiveness from her. I even kneel to her to forgive me and give me chance. I dont know how to fix this.. I dont know how to make her forgive me and give me last chance and trust me again that I will never ever doing very bad mistakes again and broke her trust again.
P : Then? Did she forgive you?
Me : No, She is not. She said she cannot give me chance for now and ask me to clear my self out of problems.. at first I was so excited that I thought she is willing to give me chance. I'm doing my best effort to fix everything, I do my best to bring back her trust on me. Until one day I realized that she's only play with my guilt and probably just want to revenge to me. After knowing that, I feels numb and thinking that all my efforts was nothing. What am I trying to fix was meaningless.. Then its time I have stopped all my efforts to fix everything and stop expecting. I feel bad.. really bad!
P : Huh? What do you mean? I dont get it. Why dont you continue to fix with her? Show your fully efforts to brings her back!! Its all your fault then you have to fix!
Me : Yes, at first I will show her my fully effort and Im willing to do anything to fix all of this. Then one day I realized that she was looking for another guys or maybe now she probably having a relationship with someone else already. That day I realized that all she said by saying will give me chance after I clear myself out was only a joke, its fake and just an empty hope!
Can you imagine, if she said will give me chance but in reality she was in relationship with another guy? Then I have to fix what? I have to keep fighting to fix everything when she has already have relationship with another guy? It's unacceptable for me! If she said she will give me chance, she have to wait and look at my progress, she have to let me work my best and wait me until I clear myself out, but what she did is having another relationship with someone else! Then what she said will giving me chance was a fake and its all lie! Am I right? Thats why I'm stopped all of this!
P : Huh? Wait.. wait! I miss something here. So, she said she will give you chance but you have to fix yourself first BUT in reality, she was having relationship with another guy already? So, what I got here is she probably waiting you for fixing yourself but while waiting she has another relationship with someone else? She is having relationship while waiting you?
Me : YES! Exactly! I'm not sure she's already in relationship or still looking for another guy.. but this is so heartless and unacceptable for me! Why dont she just said NO MORE CHANCE for me instead of saying will giving me chance but having another relationship with someone else or looking for someone else? Its does not make sense!
P : If this is the case, then yes.. actually what she have to do is just saying directly to you that NO CHANCES for you. I dont understand her as well.. why she said she will give you chance after you clear yourself out but she is having or looking relationship with someone else.. Haha im curious about it! Well, then its your rights to stop or to keep fighting for her! But I understand you, you will feel hurt when you keep fighting for her while she was having relationship with someone else. Well, my advice is just follow your heart! But if the case is like this, you better pull yourself out of this situation and keep walking.. At least you already did your job, feels regret, apologizing, ask for forgiveness and trying your best to fix everything, eventhough in the end it didn't go as you pleased, but at least you tried. You did a great job, bie!
Me : Yes! I take my punishment already by cannot see and touch my son. As a man, I admit my big mistakes to her already! I feels fully regret already. I ask for forgiveness already, I promise to her that I will never ever doing bad mistakes and broke her trust anymore, I doing everything already to regain her trust! But she wasting all my efforts! She is playing with my feeling by saying will give me chance after I cleared myself out! She gave me fake and empty hope. So i pull myself out and stopped! At least if someday Mica grown up, I can tell him what I did. I can tell Mica that his dad already trying to fix everything but his mom is wasting my efforts and playing with me. So im gonna give up..
*She looks confused, sad, and crying..*
P : Do you still love your wife after what you have done?
Me : Yes I do. I love her with all my heart.. It will and always! I've been fully regret with what I did to her. If I could turn back the time, even it cost my life, then I would.. GIving up didnt means I didnt love her, I just feel tired hurt myself as well.. and I feeling hurts when my efforts wasn't appreciated. Been there, done that! But I will always love her with all my heart and I keep saying sorry to her in my heart and my prays..
P : Im sure you were really miss Mica and your wife.. I can see from your eyes.. it looks empty! You miss them so bad.. (*she looks crying again)
Me : I miss my son for every second of my life.. I never felt this way, missing someone til my heart aches! It really hurt deep inside.. Almost every night Im crying missing my son. What I could do only looking at Mica's photos on my gallery.. No father in this world who is strong enough to bear the pain of missing his child. Its really unbearable for me..
P : Do you try to call Mica everyday? You can video call to him to heal your wound.. Or ask his mom to video call to you everyday if posisble. Or ask her to send Mica's picture for you at least once a day.. Im sure it will not bother her at all
Me : Yes, I do ask her already to send me Mica's picture as much as she can.. but you know what, Pao? I think she trying to separate me with Mica as well..
P : HAH ??!! What do you mean??
Me : Yes, you heard it right! I think she trying to separate me and Mica as well.. Do you know why? I ask her many times already to send Mica's pic as much as she can.. and she said YES, she will try to send Mica's pic as much as she can. But again, in reality she was fake again.. she only send like every 4 or 5 days or even 1 WEEK and only send 1 photos or videos. Do you think its called "AS MUCH AS SHE CAN" ? send pic every 4-5 days and only 1 ? After waiting for every 4-5 days I only got 1 pic or 1 short video.. She can HATE ME as much as she want but she have no rights to separate innocent child to his father, right??? Yes you are RIGHT! Even 1 photo per day it will not bother her at all.. But she just dont want! But she probably busy looking and impress some guys out there instead of sending me some of my Son's photos that I always wait like forever.. sending some pic's everyday not wasting even 1 minutes of her time. But this is about WANT or DONT WANT!
P : WHAATTTT?! REALLY?? Sorry bie.. but in my opinion, no matter how bad the father, every childs in this world is have FULLY RIGHTS to know his/her father! If she doing that, she is FORCEFULLY take Mica's RIGHTS to know you as his father.. she is doing a bad parenting system! How heartless she was.. She take Mica's rights as innocent child to know his father. Well, somehow I feel bad for you bie. You are right, She can hate you as much as she wanted to, but she have NO RIGHTS to force Mica to not to know his father.. Oh my God! Somehow, I got your point when before you said you have your own reason by doing some bad mistakes to her.. Well, I dont know but I got the point somehow! Its only you can feel it.. But it doesnt mean you were right! You are still WRONG by doing the FUCKING BAD THINGS! But I know at least you did a great job by fully regret it, apologizing, and trying to fix with her, even in the end she wasn't appreciate you, at least you try.. a gentleman's job! Standing ovation for you bie..!
P : . . . .
P : As a man and as a normal human being, its OK for you to make mistakes. Learn from it, take lessons from it, and promise for you life that you will never ever do it again. Even you ever failed as a man and as a husband to your loved ones, Im sure that you have fully regret now. But you never failed as a Daddy! Im sure you were being a Super Daddy for Mica! And Im sure, Mica is super love you and proud to you as his Father! You will be a good Dad for him, Im sure of that bie..!
Me : Bad Parenting Systems? Probably yes.. She is forcefully take Mica's right to know me as his father.. Well, if someday Mica grows up, I hope Mica didnt grown up with rage and questioning where is his Dad! Because He will understand when he grows up.. And someday I hope I could explain everything to him what was happened.. At least I have tried everything and its gonna be my reasons to Mica..
P : I feel sad for you bie.. Keep strong and be patients! God will never sleep.. If you feel fully regret and promise to never ever doing bad mistakes again for your life, im sure God will always listens to you and helps you.. keep believe it! Im Buddhist too like her.. so Im sure we belief about Karma. You get your bad Karma already by doing bad on the past. And if she is proven trying to separate Mica from his Daddy, Im sure too she will get Karma too for what she did.. For now you better stand up and keep walking for your life. And love yourself more than before.. Last time we met you look so fat than now.. Now you look losing weight! Remember you have to keep healthy.. Overthinking will make you sicks! Try to forgive yourself.. Try to accept yourself back.. Try to love yourself again.. What's DONE is DONE! you cannot turn back the time, but you can fix it and make it better.. But first forgive yourself and love yourself, so you can stand up and walking again.
Me : Yes I try to walks again.. and now I almost can running again hahaha! But the pain is still unbearable for me for missing my Son every second of my life.. it hurts so much for missing him!
If you were her, would you like to give me second chance for me to fix it? I just want to know from other people's perspective..
P : HAH? If I were her? You mean if this bad things happens to me? Hmmm.. Well, If I was her and this is happened to me, for sure I will very angry, mad, and sad as much as she did, or maybe more than she did. But after that I will heal myself first and think clearly for what I should do. But in my opinion, every people DESERVE a second chance! Especially if we have childs already. For sure in the end I will give you a second chance and let you prove yourself that you will never ever doing bad things again and broke my trust. Because for me second chance is LAST CHANCE! So if this happened again, NO MORE CHANCES for you for your life! But yeahh.. for me every people deserve a second chance! Especially when I see you were really regrets and I can see your efforts to fix everything! Its for me.. But every people's have different minds, so my opinion cannot be used as a standard! But for sure If I were her and I already said I will give you chance, then I would really give you chance and see you progress first.. I will waiting how much you can show and prove yourself to fix and be a better person than before! But for sure I will not looking for other guys while waiting HAHAHAHA.. because I will be honest and pure from heart when I said i will giving you chance.. No FAKE FAKE woyyy! Hahaha..
Me : Here we comes the sarcastic moments, hahaha... But thank you for your perspectives! I hope she could do as you said,, but yeah every people is different!
P : Then dont be too worry bie.. I hope she could opened her heart soon and not thinking only about herself, but about Mica as well.. Mica is still really too little for this! He needs both his Mummy and Daddy on his side. Dont let innocent child be victims from the selfishness of their parents.
Me : Well, I dont know about that.. I feel too tired and almost fully giving up..
P : You can rest a while bie.. And I know for now you were busy and tired with your business hahaha.. congrats anyway! Dont give up bie! Move forward!! I will joins and helps your business.. your coffee bottle is super yummy and your cornflakes is good, especially the peppersalt one! I like it.. No one's here using cornflakes as snacks, thats why I think it looks promising business.. Just dont give up and keep walking! Thats my note! Dont feeling down when sometimes your business is going down.. You need to have a strong mentality build when you working on personal business. Up and down on personal business is normal..
Me : Hahaha thanks! Yes it starting to grows.. I will working hard for it! Woyyy of course its good, it has secret recipes from starbucks hahaha.. Yes yes you have to helps me extent and expand my selling hahaha.. just kidding, Pao! But thank you, you boosted up my mood haha..

For anyone who hasn't had a chance to crack open Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote To Chaos" - it's packed with a lot of good, non-political stuff. I've tried to summarize it here. via /r/selfimprovement
For anyone who hasn't had a chance to crack open Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote To Chaos" - it's packed with a lot of good, non-political stuff. I've tried to summarize it here.
This is my transcript to a video summary; please forgive any grammatical errors. I also attempted to share this on r/DecidingToBeBetter but for some reason the mods removed it after it got 100+ upvotes :(.
For those of you who haven't heard of Jordan Peterson, he's a psychology professor and clinical psychologist at the University of Toronto.  Regardless of your political or moral beliefs and his controversial public persona, his intent is to make people's lives better, and his materials have made mine better, so I figure why not share the gold. Even if some of these rules might not be relevant to you, I think there's a chance that one or two of them could somehow positively impact you.
-----------------
The first rule - stand up straight with your shoulder back.  This comes from his study of lobsters, interestingly enough.  They govern their posture with serotonin.  Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that governs status, posture, and emotional regulation in lobsters - just like it does in humans.  If a lobster loses a fight, you can coerce it to fight again by giving it antidepressants!  If you're on top of the lobster hierarchy then you have high serotonin - you can legitimately mobilize a pinchy, disgruntled bottom lobster upwards into the top of the hierarchy by moderating its levels of serotonin.  Human hierarchies are not socio-cultural constructs - they're deeply rooted in biology.  Where you lie in the hierarchy is monitored at a deeply instinctual and physiological level by neural structures that were formed hundreds of millions of years ago.  And where you lie determines the ratio of positive to negative emotions that you feel.  This is why being put down by someone, especially someone in an authoritative position - is so painful.  It pokes at the deep physiological thermometer that you have, measuring where you're at, and it messes with the neurochemical systems that regulate your emotions.  So you want to present yourself in a way that aligns with our biological indicators of achievement.  Stand up straight, occupy some space, open your arms in a display of vulnerability that nonverbally communicates confidence.  This actually physically regulates your mood in the same way that smiling makes you feel happy - which some people call faking it until you make it but it's not fake at all, it's just using our bodies to exert some degree of control on the inner workings of our minds and our emotions - postural flexion directly impacts emotional regulation - and others are likely to perceive you as trustworthy and to give you the benefit of the doubt.  Part of the universal strategy for success is to confront challenging situations in a vulnerable manner and with confidence and courage.
The second rule is to treat yourself like you're someone that you care about.  Jordan talks about the golden rule of "treat others the way you wish to be treated" and how the meaning of that message goes a lot deeper than just the basic virtuous trait of kindness.  You ought to treat others the way you would treat yourself if you were your child.  That means you wouldn't just be smiling and positive and agreeable about everything in an avoidance of all negative emotion - that's pathetic.  You'd want your kid to grow through challenging situations and constructive criticism, you'd tell him when he was wrong.  Jordan explores the reasons why when we get a prescription for our pet, we're religious about its administration and we care for it.  But for ourselves, 30% don't fill prescriptions and 50% that do don't take them properly.  Why don't we care about ourselves?  Jordan says it's because you often decide to dislike people based on something that they did and then based on that tiny slice of awareness of who they are, you embrace this negative feeling towards them.  But you don't just know a tiny slice of yourself - you know everything you did and haven't done that you should have so your self-perception is just super prone to negativity because man, I did that bad thing over there and then this other thing and I could have done this but I didn't.  So it's easy to let go of things that help you and fall into temptation and malevolence because of this existential question of why something as sorry and wretched as you deserves any care?  And the answer is that yeah you're useless and weak and terrible but everyone is and that's what makes us human and the way to correct this underlying, subconscious tendency to let go is through the deliberate and conscious acknowledgement of your need to treat yourself in the same way that you would treat your child.  It's the hidden layer of the Golden Rule - the more important one if you ask me because it unleashes, it unlocks the growth mindset.  And not only would this make your life better individually, but if you don't do this, you could argue that you make the world a worse place.  So we've got the carrots of feeling better and pulling the world up through leading your peers by example and then we've got the sticks of feeling miserable and letting go of the things that are important and dragging everyone else down with us.  It's a moral decision, an obligation to take care of yourself to pull your weight within the competence hierarchy that matters the most - humanity.  You have a light that you need to bring into the world, and if you don't, nobody else will, and the world gets just a little bit dimmer and the deepest parts of your mind will punish you for that by making you feel bad.
The third rule is to make friends with people who want the best for you.  Just like you have a moral responsibility to take care of yourself, you have a moral responsibility to surround yourself with people who help your light shine brighter.  Who have the confidence and wisdom to encourage the good things you do and to stop the bad things you do.  And that's the measure of a true friend right there - someone who gives you both positive and negative but healthy feedback.
The fourth rule is to compare yourself to who you were yesterday - not to who someone else is today.  He talks about the Pareto principle whereby 20% of your employees do 80% of the work, or that 20% of your customers are responsible for 80% of your sales.  The rule is that the square of the number of people in any given effort are doing half of the work.  This means if you have four people - two people do about half the work.  If you have 10 people, about 3 do half the work.  If you have 100 people - ten do half the work.  If you have 1000 people, 30 of them do half the work.  10K employees - 100 people are doing half the work.  This is a pretty ironclad rule.   And this is related to the Matthew principle - those who have more get more, those who have less get less.  And I can relate this to my physical fitness journey - those who do more can do more, and those who don't do much can do less and less over time.  Your body is like a furnace and you have to start small but gradually increase its fuel and its load - keep giving it progressively more things to eat and to do otherwise it atrophies - and I think this applies to the mind too.  Another manifestation of this rule can be seen in the fact that the 85 most wealthy people in the world have more money than the bottom 2 billion. Which is why inequality can't be blamed on capitalism; it's a natural phenomenon that would manifest in any economic system.  And the point of all this is to say that there are always going to be some people who are better at some things than other people, and that you should be comparing yourself to others to give yourself something to aim towards, but not as a means of measuring your value.  That comparison should be for target setting, not for value measuring.  Value measuring should occur in the comparison between who you are today vs who you were yesterday.  Because in that comparison, you have the authority to set small, achievable goals and compare yourself to someone who's just incrementally, marginally different from you - your yesterday self.  Nietche - he who has a why can bear almost any how.  What purpose would make all of life's suffering worthwhile to you?  And that is a deeply personal thing that you can only decide from introspection, not comparing yourself to others.  You can explore it by comparing yourself to others, but you can only decide it by comparing yourself to yesterday.
The fifth rule is do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them.  Carl Jung says that you should pursue that which is meaningful and then you'll encounter that which you least want to encounter - the dark shadow of malevolence that brings the worst qualities out of you.  I don’t know how to interpret this other than maybe - if you attach your identity to something that has meaning to you, all other things become secondary, or even worse, obstacles.    Including the need for compassion or any degree of empathy.  And how in any relationship - if you really want to punish someone, you don't wait until they do something wrong, you wait until they do something right and then you punish them for that because they will decrease the likelihood that they do something good for themselves ever again.  But if you want a healthy relationship, you pay close attention, open your damn eyes, and you look for the good things and you praise them with everything you've got.  Tell them hey, I saw what you did, I know it took some effort and here's why it means a lot to me.  Keep that up.  This mindset applies from friendships to families to the workplace to relationships to any form of social interaction and it's another moral obligation.  I feel like the more you listen to this the more responsibility you have so stop now if you don't want responsibility.  But the takeaway here is that we're all messed up, we all have these shadows to contend with, these dragons within us that make us do nasty things, and when you feel that your mood is becoming unstable and that you're less reasonable, broadcast that so you can clear the room and minimize the risk of hurting others and your relationships with them and then manage your state of emotion back down to earth.  This tendency to become unreasonable isn't an illness most of the time it's a human condition - there's nothing wrong with you if you experience it but it's another obligation of yours to learn how to monitor yourself for it, communicate it, and wrestle it back to submission.  And that's one of the reasons why forming a solid partnership with someone through marriage to raise children is a good call - because it's the closest thing we have to a guarantee that despite our human ups and downs, we're going to stay in it, and we're going to pull through, for us, for our bond, for our children, and for the world at large.   And your job as a parent is to make your child socially desirable by teaching them how to laugh and play and be pleasant and deal with conflict without violence or aggression.  You can be sure that you've been a successful parent if, when your kid is 4, other kids want to play with them.  That doesn't mean that you're an unsuccessful parent if the opposite is the case.  But your job is to discourage behavior that other kids and other adults would dislike, and to encourage behavior that makes people like them.  Teach them manners and humor and playfulness and steer them away from stubbornness and public meltdowns and inconsiderate behavior.  I really, really like this and it applies to adults too.
The sixth rule is about setting your house in perfect order before you criticize the world.   Life can be painful. There's all kinds of stuff to complain about, but if you dwell on it, you will become bitter and tread down a path that will take you to twisted places as evidenced by the diaries and crimes of the Columbine killers. So instead of cursing the tragedy that is life, it's a better and moral decision to act meaningfully.  Stop doing bad stuff - lying, disrespecting yourself, eating garbage, saying bad things about other people, etc - stop doing the things that you know to be wrong or that make your feel ashamed.  Start doing only those things that you would proudly talk about in public.  I like to interpret this as - live your life as if there's a chance that your kids could read a biography of every one of your days.  A PG version of those days but an honest version.
The seventh rule is to pursue what is meaningful. Meaning is a defense against the suffering of life.  Again - Nietche - he who has a why can bear almost any how.  Meaning lets you know when you’re doing the right thing in the right place in life, and he says that the right place somewhere between chaos and order. If you stay firmly ensconced within order, things you understand, then you can’t grow. If you stay within chaos, then you’re lost.
The eighth rule is to tell the truth—or, at least, don't lie. Telling the truth can be hard in the sense that it’s often difficult to know the truth or how to reveal it in a way that minimizes damage. But when we lie, we know we're lying, and telling lies makes you weak. You can feel it, and others can sense it too, even if only subconsciously.  Lying disassociates you with meaning and while you might get away with it for a short while it comes at a price that you'll have to pay eventually.
Rule 9: Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don't. A good conversation consists of you coming out wiser than you went into it. An example is when you get into an argument with your significant other, you want to win, especially if you get angry. If you’re more verbally fluent than the other person then it's easy for you to win but winning shouldn't be the goal unless you want to be living with a pinchy bottom lobster; it's important to recognize that the other person might see something better than you, but they can’t quite articulate it as well. Always listen to not just the words that people say but the message that they're communicating and the reasons why they're communicating it, because there’s a possibility they’re going to tell you something that will prevent you from running headfirst into a brick wall. This is why Peterson says to listen to people even that you don't like. They might try to hurt you, but they will also say true things about yourself that your friends won’t.  A great tactical tip here is - when you're having a conversation with someone, whenever they're done speaking, summarize what they said back to them to confirm your understanding.  In this way you can condition yourself to become a truly active listener because you'll be talking to people with that sense of 'aw crap I gotta do a book report on this in a minute so I'd better listen up'
Rule 10: Be Precise in Your Speech: There is some integral connection between communication and reality. Language takes chaos and makes it into a ‘thing.’ As an example, imagine going through a rough patch in your life where you can’t quite put your finger on what’s wrong. This mysterious thing that’s bothering you—is it real? Yes, if it’s manifesting itself as physical discomfort. Then you talk about it and give it a name, and then this fuzzy, abstract thing turns into a specific thing. Once named, you can now do something about it. Things that you can't name are far more terrifying than the things that you can name.
This is why Peterson is such a free speech advocate. He wants to bring things out of the realm of the unspeakable. Words have a creative power and you don’t want to create more mark and darkness by imprecise or disallowed speech.
I interpret this as not just about the precise outward distribution of ideas through speech but also as a meditation on the importance of accumulating inward awareness.  I'd still be stuck in a cycle of omega-3 deficiency and accumulating financial liabilities and sex addiction and avoidant attachment and toiling away on a hedonistic treadmill if I hadn't picked up some damn books and harvested the language that allows me to think and speak precisely and accurately about the flaws in my choices and behavior.
Rule 11: Don’t bother children when they are skateboarding. This is mainly about risk taking and the embracing of responsibility.  We want to positively reinforce the behavior of taking risks because that fundamental deep-seated inclination to do a kickflip dookickey slide down a rail might be stupid as a kid but might also translate to that same kid putting everything on the line for a tech startup that changes the world in a great way, or approaching a girl that he's attracted to and growing immensely from their relationship.  Let people take risks and encourage them to as long as they're not too dangerous.  If you restrict a child's play, you're essentially restricting the human spirit and the ability of those children to shine bright and we need all the light we can get, especially right now as things are shifting more quickly than ever before on a species level.
Rule 12: Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street. This chapter is all about the unexpected beauty in life and how  as much as we need to try and emit light from ourselves, it's also important to keep an eye out for light coming from other sometimes unexpected or mysterious places so we can try to amplify it a bit.  When you see a stray cat struggling for life but figuring out how to adapt and how to still roll around in the grass and play with leaves, that's a bit of light right there surrounded by a big bunch of darkness and it's beautiful and you should try to look for that stuff and cultivate it external to your circumstance by maybe petting the cat or just feeling delighted by it, but it's also important to carry this within your own circumstance because no matter how much stress or darkness you're coping with, looking for the beautiful pockets of light might just upgrade the experience from absolute hell to just a manageable tragedy, which, you know, it's worth a shot.
Alright that's about it for Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos.  As far as my impressions of the book:  There were a couple of tearjerky moments and a lot of goosebumps and plenty of moments where I just had to step back and think.  I really hate the negative association that "self-help" books get because learning from people like Jordan Peterson is one of the best ways that we have to grow at scale, and there should be nothing but positivity directed towards people who share and consume uplifting, illuminating content like this.  It's just nothing short of enlightening and I've got the rules printed out next to my daily routine here now so I have to look at them every day when I wake up.  Get the book and if you can't afford it just send me a message and I'll get it for you.

I JUST WANT TO COME BACK...
Sans: * destroying everything in your path is not the right way G
Gaster: I'LL USE ANY MEANS NECESSARY
Sans: * sorry
* hey kid... after this reset take your time in the ruins
* gotta do something quick...
[S1EP3]
Sans: * yalright kid?
Sans: * so...
* about what happened earlier...
* we gotta stop doing that.
* we can't just... reset timelines like that.
* it might have side-effects on things we *don't* want to happen.
Sans: * imagine it as a matter of probabilities
* the more we screw around with the timelines...
* the more are the chances of bad things to happen
* things that aren't supposed to be here are here
* so keep an eye out for anything that seems... "odd" k?
* alright then, if ya need me, give paps a ring. i'll be there
???: * these errors are fun you know
* I also found that you only need DETERMINATION to exist in this world
* and those weird... melted monsters gave me enough to exist for a good while
Chara: * even enough to match YOURS
Flowey: * why is that brat taking so long
Chara: * and with your determination in my power things will be way easier
Flowey: * HEY! Smiley trashbag wake up!
Sans: * well now...
* what are you doing here?
Flowey: * It's Chara...
* They got Frisk.
Sans: * why are you even telling me this?.
Flowey: * Don't get me wrong, I still hate you
* But none of us would survive if they got control over the timeline...
Chara: * how cute...
* This will be interesting
* we got a comedian
* a traitor...
* and a "megalomaniac"
(more fighting shenanigans)
Chara: * welcome to my special hell
* This is all your fault...
* we just had to get 6 souls...
* but you decided to show them mercy
* you betrayed me Asriel
* we ended up like this because of you
* but I won't show you any mercy
* it's kill or be killed after all...
Flowey: * NOW SANS!
(oops chara got BELIEF)
[S1EP4]
Sans: * feelin better?
* i'm tryna fix something here at the moment
* hey flowey could you pass me the wrench from over there?
Flowey: * do I look like your stupid assistant?
Sans: * please?...
Flowey: * yeah, sure, whatever...
* take your stupid wrench!
Sans: * thank you
* alright, it's done
* let's hope it works this time
Flowey: * wait... "hope"?
* "this time"?
* how many times have you tried this before?
Sans: * just a couple of hundred of times
* but if that demon child managed to get back on their own
* i'm pretty sure i can bring "him" back
* uh... you should close your eyes a bit
Gaster: IMPOSSIBLE... HOW DID HE...
Sans: * heya...
Gaster: HEYA
DID YOU 'MIST' ME?
Sans: * heh... let's a-void the jokes for now...
* we got a huge problem at the moment
* and your help will come in 'handy'
Flowey: * your jokes are disgusting...
Sans: * hey, what's wrong kiddo
Gaster: * OH!
* D-DON'T WORRY LITTLE HUMAN
* I HAVE NO INTENTIONS TO HARM YOU
Sans: * so... i need to ask ya a favor
* you know where the human souls are right?
* please take us there
Gaster: * VERY WELL
* LET'S GO
Sans: * here...
Flowey: * WHAT?
* do you... trust me?
Sans: * kinda...
* you'll be more useful with those anyways
Flowey: * I still hate you
Sans: * sure why not
Chara: * so predictable
* isn't this hilarious
* if you think you got any chance to win... you're wrong
* I have... a small surprise too
* remember what these are?
* you never got to use all the DETERMINATION extracted in the past...
* I'm excited to see how long you'll survive
* COME =)
Sans: * make sure to keep that button blocked G
* and keep the kid safe
(goddamn a lot of fighting happens)
Gaster: WAIT HERE
(more goddamn fighting jesus christ
Sans: * heh...
* i don't like to use my real special attack
* i get bone tired after that, but...
* you deserve it
Chara: * I've got a question for you Asriel
* Do you know what black means?
* It's HATE
* And I have a LOT of it to share
[* You call for help...]
[* ...]
Chara: * But nobody came
[* You're filled with DETERMINATION]
[* You call for help]
Asriel: * Chara look!
* The music comes from that statue
* hey, Chara
* It's me
* Your Best Friend
