hey, did you guys notice the huge fruit tree that showed up near the new ocean? it's got big giant yellow star-shaped fruits growing from it that are called paopu fruit. they taste like a pineapple mixed with a pear. sounds pretty tasty, right?

there's also a legend back home about these fruits. i thought you might wanna know.

"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what."

i've always liked that legend a lot. i don't know if it's true for sure but it's nice to think that if you share one with someone really special to you that you can always be a part of each other's lives. if that doesn't sound like love, i don't know what is. it might be nice to try it with someone sometime, huh? go for it!

What?

Even assuming I felt comfortable discussing my mental state with a complete stranger (I don't)

What does that have to do with anything?

i mean not everyone is going to start writing so much about how destiny makes them this mad. i thought maybe something happened to you that made you feel that way.

i'm sorry if it did. all i was trying to say is that sometimes when you're far away from someone you care about thinking about them can really mean a lot. that's why things like this legend can be a pretty nice comfort to think about.

if it's not for you that's okay too. you wanna be your own person, i get that. but if you need a friend to talk to, i'm all ears.

What followed was not a response, per se, but a curiously-shaped black blob.

Was it a sad face? Was it an avant-garde modern art piece? Was it perhaps two bears high-fiving? Difficult to say.

It definitely wasn't the result of someone's book having been thrown aside and knocking over an inkwell, whatever it was.

That would have been pointless and childish.
