SUGAR PUFFS/FROSTIES
(We'll eat the Sugar Puffs. The Frosties can eat ME. Flakes are a wholly inferior cereal, they're not made for milk, flakes might've been the way to go back when we had no other options but we have the technology.)
THOMPSON TWINS/NOW 2
(I always go with a variety of bands.)
ACCEPT/REFUSE
(Of course I accept the job. But Colin tells me I made the wrong choice? And so now Stefan says he's "starting over." The day replays, but Colin and Stefan seem to show the effects of having gone through this path together before?)
ACCEPT/REFUSE
(Now we refuse.)
YES/NO
(Talk to the therapist about Mom. Why not?)
NO
(I have no choice in this. Stefan already said he refused to leave.)
PHAEDRA/THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
(The weeb in my compelled me pick this album.)
THROW TEA OVER COMPUTER/SHOUT AT DAD
(It was either this or destroy the computer! I love you, Dad, but I have a job to do. As my dad, I'm sure you understand.)
VISIT DR. HAYNES/FOLLOW COLIN
(Real talk, I barely saw Colin walking there, so maybe that persuaded my decision. But I can't just run away from my dad. We're parked here.)
BITE NAILS/PULL EARLOBE
(Biting nails will draw blood. Don't do that.)
TAKE THEM/FLUSH THEM
(I think I fucked up here. "He doesn't need the meds" I figured. "I'm controlling him" I figured.)
DESTROY COMPUTER/HIT DESK
(CANNOT destroy the game. I'm on the clock.)
PICK UP FAMILY PHOTO/PICK UP BOOK
(Uhhhh... pick up the photo. Remember you have a family that loves you. No, wait, don't think about how you have a mother who's dead now... damn it...)
THROW TEA OVER COMPUTER/DESTROY COMPUTER
(See, now I know I fucked up somewhere. I have no choice now but to ruin the game.)
NETFLIX/"White Bear Symbol"
(
No!!! The White Bear symbol is evil!!!)
TELL HIM MORE/TRY TO EXPLAIN
(I panicked, I should've Tried To Explain.)
TELL HIM MORE/STOP THE CONVERSATION
(Well I can't just leave him hanging.)
YES/FUCK YEAH
(Yeah, I like entertainment, everyone loves entertainment, right?)
LEAP THROUGH THE WINDOW/FIGHT HER
(Ahhhh...)
KARATE CHOP DAD/KICK HIM IN THE BALLS
(Did I "win?")
(We'll eat the Sugar Puffs. The Frosties can eat ME. Flakes are a wholly inferior cereal, they're not made for milk, flakes might've been the way to go back when we had no other options but we have the technology.)
