"Hey Mister?"

"Yes, child?"

"Well, we’ve known each other for a long time now, right?"

"Yes, I believe we have."

"Could you give me some advice?"

"Well, what about?"

"Do you see those people over there?"

"Yes, what about them?"

"They’re calling me names.

"Oh, that’s terrible, child."

"One of them called me crazy, and the other called me nuts…"

"They’re just being mean to you, child. Ignore them."

"But Mister, that’s the problem. I can’t."

"Can’t what?"

"I can’t ignore them..."

"Aw, don’t feel upset, child. You’re not crazy, no matter what they say."

"But… I feel strange. My body pulses every time they come near me… do I... do I want to hurt them?"

"Whoa! Don’t hurt anyone now, child. That’s not going to get you anywhere in life. Everything will be fine."

"Really?"

"Really."

"I love you so much, Mister Straightjacket."
