Okay, so I totally get that some of you are turning into horrific monsters hellbent on murdering everyone. And like, I feel super bad for you and I hope that gets fixed.

But guys, I finally managed to figure out Hope's OS and I coded Pong!

You can download and play it on your phones. I just finished an option that lets you change the color of your paddles and I'm working on a multiplayer so you can link up to your friends and play against them. Maybe someday we can have tournaments!

And uh... yeah, sorry about the whole cannibalism thing. That really sucks.

Look, you do realize that people are actually dying, here? I’m not saying it’s your problem to fix, but you could be somewhat sensitive about the timing of all this. It warrants somewhat more gravitas than a computer game, for Christ’s sake.

People die all the time. Here and everywhere else. You wanna stop and have a funeral, be my guest, but in my experience, funerals are a great way to lure out friends of the deceased and snipe them from the rooftops.

Uhh I had a point in all that

Oh, right: funerals suck. Video games are better.

[ Christ, that's horrific. ]

That's a particularly cold way of looking at it. We can't all just ignore what's happening in favor of playing games, and I'm not talking about funerals. I'm talking about helping those people.

What if it was a friend of yours inflicted by this thing?

Then I would scream and run in the other direction. What do you want me to say?

I want you to take what’s happening seriously. Or at the very least, I want you to show the slightest amount of sensitivity to those who do have friends involved. Playing games while people are dying doesn’t exactly sit right with me, and I don’t know why it does for you.

So... you didn't read the part where I said I felt super bad?

But okay, fine, noted, no more video game releases during mass monster-transformation sprees.

Subsequently releasing the game did somewhat reduce the impact of that statement, yes.

That would be appreciated, thank you.

Picky picky. You bleeding heart kids and your sensitivity training.

And sensitivity is a bad thing? I would call it giving due respect, but I can’t speak for you.

[ He doesn’t mean for that to sound as condescending as it probably does. The more polite Gansey seems, the less ground he gives. ]

It is when you come from where I came from.

Fine. I'm sorry for not seeming appropriately apologetic that Hell is raining down on us. Alright?

Yes, all right. I've said my piece anyway.

[ He still finds this distasteful, but he knows there's little more to say. He can let it go. ]
