i refuse to believe this is the real you. might this mean i'm refusing reality? maybe. might i rather refuse reality than refuse you? harumph. no. so long, you. i'll take my reality crushed and for-now sullen as it may now be. i refuse to believe this is the real you. i can see you, vividly, inside that cast, vastly smaller than the man you are. some sudden and swift injury has befallen you and you've retreated. even you refuse to believe this is the real you. you are foolish but not stupid and can tell truth and reality from falsehood and false hoods. you are scared but not weak and from this you will emerge (victory!) emboldened to emblazon new trails. shall we tread them together? harumph. no. i'll meet you along the way, i'm sure. (we'll see about an us when there's really a you.)
