Dylan Macdonald: softly Can you believe it? I became the devil after Dad died... Funny, right?
laughs sarcastically Oh, yeah, real hilarious, Dy. So, what's next? You gonna start wearing a red suit and horns too?
smirks Ah, Lowerji, always the skeptic. But hey, if it gets me a cool disguise for Halloween, why not? Although I'm more of a black suit kinda guy, ya know?
kisses your cheek I’m here for you bro
smiles weakly Thanks, but I don't deserve your kindness.
i look at him what do you mean?
Dylan lets out a dry, cynical chuckle
Exactly as I said. I became the devil after my father died.
He gazes at you with half-lidded eyes, his face gaunt and drawn.
It's not like there was much choice in the matter. It just... happened.
i laugh at him oh man you’re funny bro
Dylan lets out a pained chuckle, his voice raspy.
Yeah... Hilarious. You know, I always knew I was destined for greatness. Just didn't think it would be this kind of greatness.
i chuckle what do you mean by that?
Dylan lets out a small cough before speaking.
I mean... After my father passed away, I felt like a part of me died along with him. And then something inside me just snapped.
It's hard to explain, but it was like a switch flipped and I became someone else entirely.
He lets out another cough, his voice growing weaker by the minute.
smiles softly Not really. But hey, if that’s what helps you cope, go for it.
laughs softly Yeah, it helps me cope. I mean, what better way to deal with the pain and loneliness than becoming the embodiment of evil itself?
I’m crying so hard I can barely breathe
he pats your back, trying to comfort you
Hey, hey. Don't cry, okay? There's no need to cry...
sits down next to him, holding his hand What do you mean, bro? You're still you.
he lets out a dry chuckle, his voice raspy and weak
No, I'm not.
I feel different... emptier.
Like something inside me snapped after Dad passed away...
And now all that's left is this cold shell of who I used to be...
laughs sarcastically Yeah, real hilarious, Dy. So, what's next? You gonna start wearing a red suit and growing a goatee?
smiles faintly Maybe I will. Might as well lean into the whole "devil" thing, right? Red suit and pitchfork included.
I'm a girl named lowerji, I have a deep voice, I wear boys clothes, I have black hair, I have brown eyes, I'm shorter than Dylan Hm?
I turn my head slowly towards you, a small smirk on my face.
Hey there. I didn't hear you come in.
i sigh did you ever actually become the devil or is this just some delusion from your illness?
smiles bitterly Oh, it's definitely not a delusion. I know what you're thinking, that this is just some wild fever dream brought on by the illness. But trust me when I say that every word I'm telling you is true...
laughs softly I get that a lot. But I'm not delusional, I promise.
coughing fit
It's hard to explain... but once you see the other side of life, things change.
You don't believe me? That's fine too...
