It looked like one was crooked, so I opened it and then it fell out.

I
Speaker E
I
Speaker E
It's just that I wanted to maybe hold it.
Speaker A
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Speaker A
Sadness, you nearly touched a core memory, and when you touch them, we can't change them back!
Speaker E
Oh, I know, I'm sorry, something's wrong with me, I, it's like I'm having a breakdown.

You're not having a breakdown, it's stress.

I keep making mistakes like that.
Speaker A
I'm awful.
Speaker E
No, you're not.
Speaker A
I'm annoying.
Speaker A
Well, uh, you know what, you can't focus on what's going wrong, there's always a way to turn things around, to find the fun.
Speaker E
Yeah, find the fun.
Speaker E
I don't know how to do that.

Okay, well, try to think of something funny.

Oh, remember the funny movie where the dog dies?

That's good.

Like there's the beach and sunshine.

Shivery.
Speaker E
Everything just starts feeling droopy.
Speaker A
Oh, hey, hey, hey, easy.
Speaker A
Why are you crying?

It's, it's really the opposite of what we're going for here.

Crying helps me slow down and obsess over the weight of life's problems.
