Dress weird — but only weird enough: you know what I mean, just apparently weird, not real weird, silly. Borderline humiliating. No one likes real weird: it means appearances mean nothing and I can't manipulate anyone, which is terribly uncomfortable. If you can, show us your skin also, as much of it as possible. It's cool to be very edgy, so dress weird, yes: ''break the cage of old traditions'', go out half naked (you're just a piece of meat anyways, so just go already). We could change your face a little as well, correct your nose, maybe? Bigger lips, now, yes? The filter looks better anyway, and you know it! Oh, don't worry, you can dress weirdly, baby, I mean.... If you're hot! Just... Be thin, I guess? It's not a spiritual fast, forget the feast, and look in the mirror, your waist needs a trim! But don't worry, you can still dress something weird: especially if your bag has a nice Big Name on it. What? You're doing this for man? Oh, don't be silly, real men don't even care about it. The only ones who do are the ones who are listening to me as well, all trapped, just like you. So do it for yourself— call it freedom, call it self-love, because destroying yourself is the reason why you're alive, didn't you know? At least, that is what we want you to think. So be our propaganda girl, be like they show on television, worship the deconstruction of humanism, and make it all cool and aesthetic; a soulless and pornographic act. Call other people perverts and ignore your own perversion by doing that; what do you mean you want to cry? Don't you know the rules this world is run by? Don't you want to be pretty to be loved? What do you mean... ''Did you put the teeth inside my gums when I was young?''

''Did you choose the colour of my eyes?''—what? ''How about the curve of my smile?''

Who is shining this light on top of my scars?

You know what?

You're fading.
