This Is One Of The Best Things I've Seen.

Enough

This fire gets dimmer,

But as long as there's a glimmer,

I won't stop to desire.

So I'll lie my way through

To stick with you,

And I'll promise this lie,

That I'll stick by your side.

For you're my home,

The only thing I hope to know,

And when I'm all alone,

You're the only one I can hold.

So chin up, hold our head high.

Don't hold back your tears,

It's OK not to hide.

Under these fears,

It's OK to feel shame.

Bad days are just,

In the scheme of things.

There's no one to blame,

You're enough for me,

One day you'll see.

For you've got me,

And I'm enough for me,

Some day, together, we'll be free.

Legitimately what my own thesis looked like... Me included, although pretty sure I felt like the last panel's figure at discussion

The Scientific “Method”

I had a dream where I was playing a real live video-esque game. it was not the first dream of its kind that I've experienced, but it was the first one where I was paired with a person who was responsible for keeping me alive and for whom I had the responsibility to keep alive. Whoever my partner was, I may not have known your name or caught a glimpse of what you looked like, but no one could ask for a more reliable, trustworthy and supportive in-game partner. At the start I may have thought you had abandoned me, leaving me to safeguard our relic on my own, but in the end you proved to be the better tactician who taught me on the fly how to really play the game. From saving my arse from getting killed by OP players, not to mention your crazy, but brilliant driving skills (thank the stars you took over from me. I was surprised I didn't make us crash!), you pretty much carried me until the next portal which was when I woke up. It might've just been a dream (you could just be a figment of my imagination) but thank you nonetheless for taking a stranger under your wings. If old folklore was to be believed, you were the keeper of my abilities to return to the waking plane last night.
