Life, as Proust tells it, is disappointment and loss - loss of time, as his title says, and loss of youth of course; loss of freshness of vision, of belief, and of the semblance it once gave to the world; and loss of self, a loss against which we have only one safeguard, and that unsure: memory.

James Grieve, from his Introduction to In Search of Lost Time, Book 2: In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower by Marcel Proust

That life, I almost got it back

I fought through injury after injury

I held on as tightly as I could

And even after my grip slipped away, I managed to once again find purchase

Only to find that thorns had grown on the branch I so desperately grasped for

But perhaps they were there all along

I felt like I was chained in the darkness trying to get away from it. But, someone suddenly comes and choked me to death until I found myself out of gust.

Are you, you anymore?

There were two friends, best friends.

one was perfect, beloved my everyone, the other was known as the odd kid. The one who kept to themself and would only be seen talking Infront of the people they trusted. They did everything together. They were inseparable. That was until middle school. The perfect one started to act different, like they were older than what they really were, and started to exclude the odd friend. The odd friend expected this, they noticed the changes far before there were any. but it still hurt. not that they showed it, but they felt betrayed. They had been friends since before they were old enough to read.

The perfect one started to care more about their looks, and less on schoolwork, only caring about if people liked them. They turned fake, "We aren't kids anymore." is what they would say to the odd friend. the odd friend couldn't take it anymore, they cut contact with the perfect one. It hurt, it hurt so bad, but they knew they had to do it, if they didn't, then the perfect one would have done it.

The odd friend still looks in crowds for the perfect one. despite them not being friends anymore. They yearn for their best friend back, the one they lost to growing up. The one who matured too fast.

idk if this is accurate but i’ve felt like in previous seasons riz & gorgug have been one of the inter-bad kids dynamics we’ve seen the least of & this season has been so great in that aspect. gorgug having helped make some of riz’s magic gear. riz helping gorgug with his studies. the shared birthday party. gorgug’s gift to riz being something he himself made to protect riz. riz’s gift to gorgug being something he illegally grabbed to protect gorgug. gorgug who utilizes rage to put his body on the line for his friends & riz who will take deep levels of mental stress for his friends. even though it was within the context of a joke, riz calling gorgug an “absolute sweetie.” like yea they might not be in a band together or both part of a presidential campaign team or owlbears teammates, but they’d go to war for each other, because they’re best friends.
