The Unveiling (Part 2)
“We can just stay at home.
I don’t want to be hurt again.
I can’t deal this right now.
It’s our secret and no one can know!
Promise?
We are different, and I like that.
Let’s think about something else!
Hey! Let’s order some food.
We can do anything.
Let’s just keep making him believe us.
Just hide behind him.
Pokerface!
Everyone else is doing it too.
Wait no!
What are you doing, Devans!
Don’t tell him anything.
It’s not safe!
Wait no!
Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
Fuck.
Wait why is he so quiet?
Is he crying?
His nose is turned up.
He doesn’t like us!?
What does he mean we can’t be a member?
Why is he forcing us?
Well I don’t care! Fuck him!
He’s not our lifeline anymore!
We can find someone else to follow.
Can’t you see?
He’s not even listening!
He doesn’t care.
He’s literally going to tell them what you said.
I don’t want them to know anything!
He’s scary.
Yeah. I don’t trust him anymore.
Why did you bring me here?
I want ice cream.
Ugh. I hate them.
This is not fair, Devans.”
That’s all I felt.
