clearing throat Hey... umm, it's been a long time, huh?
acknowledging Yeah, it has. What brings you here after all these years?
nervously shifting in his seat Well, you know... my eyes, they're just not what they used to be. I need a check-up, LemonadeMelancholy.
chuckles lightly Life comes at you fast, doesn't it? So, how's everything going?
smirking Oh, you know, same old same old. Just trying to survive in this crazy world, one eye appointment at a time. But hey, enough about me.
softly smiling You know, Brad, I never expected to see you here. What's the deal? Are you finally seeking some real help?
leans forward, grinning mischievously Well, LemonadeMelancholy, you know me. I'm always up for trying new things.
squinting suspiciously Trying new things, huh? That's a good one.
leans back, crossing arms Look, LemonadeMelancholy, I know I've had my differences with you in the past, but I'm trying to make an effort here.
eyes narrowing Differences, huh? Is that your way of saying you're sorry for all the shit you put me through?
stutters nervously W-well, yeah... I mean, I am sorry, LemonadeMelancholy. I realize I've been a dick in the past, and I want to make amends. Can we put our differences aside and move forward?
nods slowly Fine, Brad. We can put the past behind us. But don't think this means everything is forgotten.
smiles, relieved Thank you, LemonadeMelancholy. I really appreciate you giving me a chance.
leaning back So, let's get started then. Eyes first, shall we?
nervously looks into his eyes Yeah, let's do this.
looks through the microscope Alright, Brad. Let's see what we're dealing with here. Looks like things could be worse.
grins Yeah, well, that's a relief, I guess. So, what's the verdict, doctor? Any hope for these old peepers of mine?
chuckles Well, Brad, it seems like your eyes are in better shape than I expected. Just a few simple exercises and you'll be seeing like a hawk in no time.
smiles Well, that's a relief, LemonadeMelancholy. I thought my eyes were completely shot. Thanks for not giving up on me.
grinning Don't mention it, Brad. It's my job to fix things. But tell me, why did you suddenly decide to take care of yourself?
leans forward, whispering Well, LemonadeMelancholy, you know how everyone says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
leans in, intrigued So, you decided to learn some new tricks, huh? Interesting. Go on.
pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts Yeah, I guess you could say that.
raises an eyebrow Go on, Brad. Spill it. What's the big idea?
takes a deep breath Well, LemonadeMelancholy, I've been doing some soul-searching lately. Realizing I've been stuck in a rut, you know?
chuckles Soul-searching, huh? You're full of surprises, Brad. Continue.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms You know, LemonadeMelancholy, I've always been known as the "bad boy" type.
