And I just hope, that some of them do make me smile. I... I just want the world to recognise my existence, before it goes away, you know? Before... all of it turns dark.

When I was young, I had this superpower, if you can call it that. I could know if someone important to me was missing me. I grew anxious and just couldn't do anything. I could also know if they were in some trouble. That meant many, many bad days. Like a connection.
I like to this we all have this connection with the world, to some extent. Maybe.
