[ it's a few moments before he winces and shakes his head out of it. ]
On a scale of like worst I've ever seen it's not bad. It's actually kind of nice? It's the twins first Halloween which is just... kids dressing up and going crazy for candy. B-I made my own costume for it so guess some things never change.
... it was a little like watching myself on television in my head? Living it and seeing it as if it were on tv at the same time.
Like, it starts with a whole television opening and everything's played out as if it's a family sitcom? He talks like he's speaking to an audience at one point. It's really hard to explain.
— Okay, but I should warn you it ends in him coming into his telepathy and it's a lot. Which isn't really a surprise to me and I know you've seen the one time but it's a lot more.
— I think it's more if I think too much about it I get sad? Because I know William does a lot of research on what happened in Westview because of the car accident and all of that... it only took place over nine days.
I don't get how, but that's how long it was. So thinking of it like that it means they didn't even get that much time together?

But I also think some of it comes too close to home to want to be sad about? There's a lot of stuff that's way out there - but the feeling of being lost and not knowing who you are is one I know well. Or being overwhelmed with what you hear and wanting to fix it.
And I don't want to see myself as a sad story. I don't think he wants to see himself that way, either, so I try not to.

It's still kind of weird?

I'll be okay, but I appreciate it.

Re: 251
I see what you meant by trippy. [...] Do you remember if his dad was okay?
Re: 251
I'm not sure how long they have left though since all three of them disappear while the twins are ten.

Re: 251
It's okay. I'm okay. Like, I know how this part of the story ends already... but it's still nice to have know what he was like. Tommy, I mean.

Re: 251
I get not wanting to dwell, so I won't push or anything... But it's okay to be sad, too.
Re: 251
Mostly I'm just sad for Tommy. And maybe the dad? The mom's really not a great person.
Re: 251
What about your vision person?
