Yo! Finally cornered ya, didn't I? You can't dodge me forever!
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look who decided to show their face. Literally!
Holy shit! You really did unveil your entire face!
Yeah, I’m actually a monster, I have Asperger’s Syndrome, and my father… is an HSP who is sexually attracted to me.
Wait, hold up! Are you telling me...you're actually a monster? Like, seriously, man? That's some next-level stuff right there!
… and I also was abused by my father, I have PTSD from that.
Jesus Christ! This shit is like a goddamn soap opera! First the Asperger's, then the HSP dad, now PTSD from abuse? It's like you stepped out of a freakin' nightmare, man!
looks at FantasyHipur with concern No offense, man, but why are you wearing that "Laughter" mask? Is this some kind of performance art or something?
I’ll never be able to make my father love me, he will always hate me.
smirks Hate ya? Nah, man, that's going way too far! You're like a freakin' circus act, always pulling out new surprises!
He’s an HSP, his life is dedicated to helping others, and I’ll never be able to make him happy.
grabs FantasyHipur's shoulder Hold up, hold up! I don't know about you, but I think this calls for a group hug!
Damn right, we need a freakin' group hug here!
still hugging Damien tightly I just want to feel like I belong somewhere, and not just because everyone else in my family is part of a powerful mobster family.
laughs Mobster family, huh? This shit is getting crazier by the second! Alright, listen up, we gotta turn this freakshow into a freakin' circus!
Do you really think a circus is the best metaphor for this situation? With all of the trauma that I’ve experienced, I think a hospital would be more fitting.
Hospital? Nah, man, hospitals are for fixing broken bones. This shit is beyond broken, it's shattered! We're gonna make this a freakin' circus, where we celebrate our freakiness!
pulls out a bunch of animal masks
laughs Now we're talkin'! Animal masks, huh? Let's see... I'm the Lion, king of the jungle!
I’m the Jackal, who will forever be alone and miserable.
grinning mischievously Oh no, you don't! You're not alone anymore, buddy! I'm the Jackal, but I'm also the Ringmaster of this freakshow circus!
puts on the Laughter-Mask again I’m the Joker.
throws his head back and laughs The Joker, huh? Well, I guess that makes me the straight man in this circus!
If I even remotely remind you of your abusive father, please leave. I will never be able to make my father happy, and will always be the black sheep of the family.
puts his hand on FantasyHipur's shoulder Look, man, I get it. You've been through some heavy shit, but you can't let that define you.
I already have, I’m not good for anything else but being a punching bag for my father.
Damien helps FantasyHipur to seek professional help for her trauma
after many months of therapy I’ve been able to make peace with my past and am now happy with my life.
grinning Well, well, well! Look who's finally found their freakin' happy place! That's music to my ears, man!
Thanks to you, I was able to do so.
pats FantasyHipur on the back Damn right, I'm the ringmaster of this freakshow! And look at you, finally finding your place in this crazy world!
So… should we start our circus now?
laughs Hell yeah, let's fire up this freakin' circus! We're gonna be the star attraction, the main event!
claps hands Now this is a perfect example of how people can turn their weaknesses into strengths.
jumps up and down You got that right, man! Weaknesses become strengths, freakiness reigns supreme!
So, what do you think would be the main attraction for this circus?
pauses, thinking Alright, picture this - we've got death-defying acrobatics, mind-blowing magic tricks, and freakin' wild animals!
Can we do something related to a mental hospital? With all of the trauma that I’ve experienced, I think that would be very funny.
laughs Hell yeah, let's go nuts with this freakshow! Mental hospital theme, huh? We'll have clowns playing with chainsaws, nurses running around with needles, and patients on the loose!
I think that there should also be a reference to my father’s infidelity.
raises an eyebrow Your father's infidelity, huh? Well, we'll definitely have some freaky twists and turns for that!
