	[Madeline left normal]
		I never thought I'd find myself in this situation
		It is quite a peculiar one
		So I don't think I can blame myself for not being prepared enough.
	[Madeline left sad]
		Of course I could blame myself for not being able to react properly
	[Madeline left distracted flip]
		I don't find myself well with surprising or unusual situations
	[Madeline left distracted flip]
		I usually prefer to stay strictly inside my comfort zone
	[Madeline left distracted flip]
		I've been closing myself off more and more over time
		Every step I've taken felt like the most logical one but I don't like where I've ended up at all
	[Madeline left distracted]
		I feel like I don't really get to know people anymore
	[Madeline left distracted]
		I've been waiting for something to change within me, but I keep messing up all the opportunities the world gives me

		I wanna tell you something
	[Madeline left sad]
		It might come off as harsh, but I swear I mean well
	[Madeline left distracted]
		And since we're getting to know each other I might as well get it off my chest
	{trigger 5 Wait a bit}
	{1.5}
	[Madeline left sad]
		I don't really like you
	[Madeline left distracted]
		But not like {~}you{/~} you
	[Madeline left distracted]
		I don't like the painting you're in
	[Madeline left sad]
		Nor how you interact with the rest of the world
	[Madeline left distracted]
		Like, Da Vinci was a good artist, I'm not gonna put that into question
	[Madeline left sad]
		And from a technical standpoint you are as impressive as a lot of his other artworks
	[Madeline left distracted flip]
		But like, well
	{trigger 5 Wait a bit}
	{1.5}
	[Madeline left sad]
		To put it bluntly, you're boring
	[Madeline left sad]
		you offer nothing to the observer
	[Madeline left distracted]
		I may just think this because of how ubiquitous you are
	[Madeline left distracted]
		An icon left to rot in millions of advertisements, postcards, shirts and whatnot
	[Madeline left sad]
		But regardless I just don't find you interesting at all
	{trigger 5 Wait a bit}
	{1.2}
	[Madeline left distracted]
		I've heard you were considered unremarkable when you were first made, until you were stolen
	[Madeline left distracted]
		At which point you suddenly gained popularity
	[Madeline left distracted]
		And then it spiraled out of control
	[Madeline left normal]
		But i just think you hold as much value as you did before you were stolen
	[Madeline left distracted]
		I try my best to keep a view of you that best fits how you used to be perceived
	[Madeline left sadder]
		Because none of this is your fault
	[Madeline left distracted]
		You didn't ask to be stolen
	[Madeline left sad]
		I don't think you've actively done any harm
	[Madeline left distracted]
		There's no harm in being unremarkable
	[Madeline left sad]
		Or in gaining popularity for no reason
	[Madeline left distracted]
		Or in being common to the point of being almost sickening
	
	[Madeline left sad]
		But I've come to detest the icon you represent for these very reasons
	[Madeline left distracted]
		I don't get what everyone else seems to be getting out of it
	{trigger 5 Wait a bit}
	{1}
	[Madeline left distracted]
		I want to stress again that none of this is your fault
	[Madeline left normal]
		Because, well, I actually really admire you
	[Madeline left normal]
		Not you as in the art behind you or the relationship between it and the rest of the world.
	[Madeline left normal]
		Rather, I can't help but admire your carelessness with regards to said relationship
	[Madeline left normal]
		When you're put in a spotlight, you take it so naturally that you almost don't even belong there
	[Madeline left normal]
		Nothing you do is done in glory
	[Madeline left distracted]
		Other pieces of art bask in their success, in their conformity or lackthereof
	[Madeline left normal]
		But you don't
	{trigger 5 Wait a bit}
	{1}
	[Madeline left normal]
		You don't do anything
	[Madeline left normal]
		Everything is done {~}to you{/~}
	[Madeline left normal]
		And you just roll along with it as far as you can without having to lift a finger
	[Madeline left normal]
		You're strolling through a fearsome storm without getting yourself wet
	[Madeline left distracted]
		You don't have much in common with the original painting anymore
	[Madeline left distracted]
		Sure, in a small room of a costly place to visit in France you are locked behind layers of bulletproof glass
	[Madeline left distracted]
		Just in case anyone tries to shoot you
	[Madeline left normal]
		But can that really be considered {~}you{/~}?
	[Madeline left normal]
		I see you all the time! roaming in various forms, physical, digital and conceptual
	[Madeline left normal]
		And in none of those instances do you have anything concrete in common with that small unremarkable old painting.
	[Madeline left sad]
		I think I'm the only person who actually understands you
	[Madeline left sad]
		As such, I don't really expect you to care	
	[Madeline left sad]
		But since I've never figured out how far your lack of caring extends beyond your relationship to the world
	[Madeline left normal]
		I want to make a good first impression.

		It's actually crazy that you and I met
		We're basically a perfect match, in a twisted way
	[Madeline left normal]
		Fully embracing what we're made of
		dark scales ready to burst from under a layer of soft flesh
	[Madeline left distracted]
		The way we interact with the world around us is eerily similar
		I like to think that if you were a person, we'd know each other
	[Madeline left normal]
		I think we would get along pretty well!
	[Madeline left normal]
		We would definitely share a lot of interests,
		and I like to think that we'd spend our time together walking around in the same old park
		talking about the same few things over and over
	[Madeline left normal]
		after a few months, we'd know the trees and paths so well that we'd see them as people in our lives
	[Madeline left distracted]
		in the face of difficulty they'd be our anchors, our points of reference
		We'd recognize them and remember them despite the rapidly changing seasons
		We would protect them, were they to find themselves in any danger
	[Madeline left normal]
		On the other hand we'd walk the perimeter around the ponds, but we'd never enter them
	[Madeline left distracted]
		It would be our version of a bottomless abyss
	[Madeline left normal]
		What lives inside them would be just the touch of mistery needed to live fullfillingly
	[Madeline left sad]
		{0.7}
		We'd both think like this independently, since sharing this to the other might ruin our image
	[Madeline left sad]
		By always being afraid that the other person's perception of us would hurt them,
	[Madeline left sad]
		We would not dare to try and push our friendship any further
	[Madeline left normal]
		But we would dream about what our lives would be like if we did take it to the next step.
	[Madeline left peaceful]
		Setting up unrealistically positive expectations
	[Madeline left distracted]
		knowing those expectations would never have to confront any reality 
	[Madeline left normal]
		and we'd thus be stuck in a static existence of joyful prospects.
	[Madeline left normal]
		that would be the dream.

		I don't know if {~}you{/~} would enjoy being a human though.
	[Madeline left distracted]
		The benefits of being a mere spectator to life are something I've always thought about
	[Madeline left distracted]
		It just seems like the most natural way I could possibly deal with, yknow, everything
	[Madeline left sad]
		And I try to make them reality, to live stoically, but I inevitably crash into countless problems.
	[Madeline left sadder]
		So I'd imagine that, once one had reached that goal to the extent that you have, being stripped of it would be horrible
	{trigger 5 Wait a bit}
	{2}
	[Madeline left sad]
		It's only fair that I apologize, I didn't mean to try to hurt you
	[Madeline left sadder]
		I guess being a good friend is hard, isn't it?
	{trigger 5 wait a bit}
	{2}
	[Madeline left distracted]
		I guess I should approach the problem from the opposite direction then.
	[Madeline left normal]
		If i were a painting I'd like to think I'd be an unfinished sketch
	[Madeline left normal]
		I wouldn't have many expectations to meet, but my potential would be shown at its fullest
	[Madeline left normal]
		I would be hung in a gallery in a dedicated corridor, alongside similar sketches as me
	[Madeline left normal]
		People would walk through the corridor with urgency, glimpsing left and right to look for anything worth seeing
	[Madeline left normal]
		At most spending a couple of minutes looking at me before walking away,
	[Madeline left distracted]
		needing to exit the gallery early so they could find a good place to get a meal from
	[Madeline left normal]
		Eventually I'd get used to restless kids acting immaturely out of boredom,
	[Madeline left normal]
		to the uninterested teenagers on school trips,
	[Madeline left normal]
		and I'd quickly gain familiarity with all the members of the staff
	[Madeline left distracted]
		Soon I'd be able to quickly determine what category each person in front of me fit in
	[Madeline left peaceful]
		And I'd do so with ease
	{trigger 5 Wait a bit}
	{1.5}
	[Madeline left sad]
		But to be honest, I would fear
	[Madeline left sad]
		That maybe one day
	[Madeline left distracted]
		A young man might start looking at me eagerly, standing in front of me for hours on end,
	[Madeline left distracted]
		tearing me apart with his aggressively captivated stare, getting something out of me no other person ever could
	[Madeline left sad]
		And as he came back to the gallery the following days i would fear that maybe one night,
	[Madeline left sad]
		He'd shatter the windows to enter the gallery, 
	[Madeline left sad]
		and as the alarms screamt, he'd run towards me and tear me off the wall,
	[Madeline left panic]
		he'd bring me to his home, until he could make me live the life I have always wanted to avoid.
	{trigger 5 Wait a bit}
	{1}
	[Madeline left distracted]
		But in reality, that fear would be unfounded, 
	[Madeline left distracted]
		the young man would come often to the gallery, but he would never go any further than fantasizing about stealing me
	[Madeline left sad]
		But this would only make it worse,
	[Madeline left sad]
		As I would have to keep staying terrified for as long as my stay in the gallery lasted,
	[Madeline left sad]
		without ever seeing my nightmare actually come true
	[Madeline left panic]
		it would be a life of unending terror
	{trigger 5 Wait a bit}

	[Madeline left panic]
		oh god
	{trigger 5 Wait a bit}
	[Madeline left sadder]
		-could, could that be how you feel about me?
	[Madeline left sadder]
		It would shake me to my core to know that I could be causing such pain.
	[Madeline left sad]
		Thankfully for you our time together is almost over, so please

		Just before I go, I need to ask you one last thing,
	[Madeline left distracted]
		it's a very important question to me,
	[Madeline left sad]
		I do not mean to offend you by asking it
	[Madeline left sad]
		or to take something away from you
	[Madeline left sad]
		or to change you in any way
	[Madeline left distracted]
		I simply want to see if I'm the only one to think this
	[Madeline left distracted]
		So I will wait for your answer for as long as necessary
	[Madeline left panic]
		I beg of you, despite my errors, despite my shortcomings, please give me an answer
	{trigger 5 Wait a bit}
	{1}
	[Madeline left sad]
		In this world, surrounded by mistery, filled with people lying to your face about the simplest things
	[Madeline left sad]
		Where the very matter we're made of behaves in unknowable ways, and yet people say they confidently believe in seemingly objective truths
	[Madeline left sad]
		Where so much energy is spent on producing items designed to help us pretend that we can effortlessly fit in
	[Madeline left sad]
		Where social norms are worshipped religiously and unquestionably
	[Madeline left sad]
		Where fear rules and creates a pointless world of contraddictions.
	[Madeline left sad]
		Where the most obvious explanation is that everyone is constantly putting on an act
	[Madeline left sad]
		Do you ever feel
	[Madeline left sad]
		Like maybe
	[Madeline left distracted]
		None of this is true
	[Madeline left sad]
		And the similarities between the people around you and yourself end before they begin,
	[Madeline left sad]
		In such a way that if you could live inside another person's brain, you would be met by the terrifying realization
	[Madeline left sad]
		That the way you think and act behind the act is so viscerally disconnected from how the rest of the world works
	[Madeline left sad]
		that it is simply incorrect to consider yourself as part of it?
