[Ken, wearing a blue apron, is standing in what appears to be the stockroom of Nectar.]

So...

[He hesitates for a moment, gazing around himself apprehensively, clearly worried he might be overheard. When he turns back to the screen, he closes his eyes briefly and takes a deep breath, as if steeling himself for something.]

What would it take to make you decide you couldn't be yourself any more?

Comments

Don't worry about it. :)

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

What are those, then?

I just kinda meant acting all wrong. There's more?

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

You can just act different... or you could actually turn into something different, for starters. It depends if you're pretending, or if you're actually permanently changed.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

But how can you tell when the first one stops and the other one starts?

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

... That's the tricky part.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[That's what was worrying him.]

You think if someone's acting different all the time they're always gonna forget how they were before?

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

Not always. It depends on the circumstances.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

But what if they can't go back? Wouldn't you have to get used to it? I'd think you'd have to, after a while.

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they would.

... Is this hypothetical or someone you're thinking of in particular?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[Why does everyone keep asking this is he really that transparent?]

... It's kinda a bit of both.

It's not me, though.

[... well, that beats an outright lie.]

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

... I see. I won't ask who it is, then.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Just a friend of mine. I'd rather not go into detail.

[Not when I already feel bad enough talking about him behind his back.]

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

It's fine.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

... thanks.

For replying, too.

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

I guess it was a pretty stupid question.

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

I don't think it was.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Really?

I kinda wish it had helped more.

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

Ah... I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Ah... I didn't mean you hadn't! I'm just... Well. I got kinda a lotta different answers. I still dunno what I should think.

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

I guess that depends on the answers you got... and what you think of the situation.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Guess I still don't understand what was wrong with the way he was before.

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

I guess you'll have to ask him about that.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

I tried. I don't think he wants to talk about it.

[always-forgot.livejournal.com]

You probably shouldn't push it, then.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

I was kinda hoping there'd be something I could do to help.
