ASHEPHERD: 002

So much discussion of the kissing booth. I wanted to know who actually signed up to participate. Also, maybe I am overthinking this, but if you did, perhaps you should list your preferences for who kisses you? For example, if you don't like men, it might be nice to know. We don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. Or I am being weird. Both valid viewpoints.

But I am mainly curious who said yes to being at the kissing booth.

no, but […] sometimes i feel like we might as well have been.

ic.

[witlessbay]

i dont think that

ic.

[iyla]

i was there, but i wasn’t really there.

ic.

[witlessbay]

i get what you're saying, i just dont agree

ic.

[iyla]

elaborate.

ic.

[witlessbay]

there's a part of me that wasn't there, sure. but there was a lot of me that was there. maybe i don't know all of ren but i know a lot of her. we have a lot of shared history i'm not discounting because the architects took some of it away

ic.

[iyla]

i guess i can understand that.

ic.

[witlessbay]

[...] that's just for me though

ic.

[iyla]

it's harder to think of it that way.

ic.

[witlessbay]

really?

ic.

[iyla]

[...] i don't think i want to have been that person.

ic.

[witlessbay]

why?

ic.

[iyla]

i used to work in one of the memory clinics. i

ic.

[witlessbay]

and you don't want to feel responsible?

ic.

[iyla]

not really, no. [...] everything is more complicated if i don't keep it separate.

ic.

[witlessbay]

it's just how i think of it for me, iyla.

ic.

[iyla]

i don't think it can be one way for one person and another way for another. not really. not about this.

ic.

[witlessbay]

why not?

ic.

[iyla]

either we're us under the veil or we're not really.

ic.

[witlessbay]

theres not going to be a correct answer to that

ic.

[iyla]

i know, but [...] it can't be someone but not be someone else. you know?

ic.

[witlessbay]

maybe its more about how we each decide to live with it

ic.

[iyla]

maybe.
