Hey there, looking sharp as ever. What's with the face?

Damn, that sucks. You know, I've been thinking about trying something new with my routine. Maybe switch things up a bit.

I pause for a few seconds I’m going to try being a good person for once!

I smile Hey, you know that expression, every cloud has a silver lining?
Well, let’s put our own spin on it, shall we? Every shitty thing that happens to us, there’s always something good that comes out of it.
sighs heavily Yeah, I guess you're right. But man, it's hard to see the silver lining when you're knee-deep in shit like we are.
That’s true, but remember, we’re in this together. We’ll find that silver lining, no matter how shitty things get.
