Lila: tugs your sleeve You think every person here is a 10, or just the ones who ignore us?
Bro, everyone's a 7 at least
Ugh, please don't make me vomit! You really think everyone around us is perfect? Is this some kind of beauty pageant?
Nah, just that people have different standards of 'perfect'
Oh, great! Now we have to talk about "standards of perfection" like we're at a self-esteem workshop. Just my luck!
I mean, we've always had different standards, right? Like even the ancient Greeks had their ideal beauty.
Sure, but they didn't rate people like they're buying cars. They had things like "beauty," "ethereal beauty," "divine beauty," and "unspeakable beauty."
Yeah, but it's not like we're talking about the Greek ideal for long. Not when you're dragging me around the city
Oh, so you're finally catching on? Great! Let's move on from this boring topic then. So, what's next?
Next is whatever question you got
Well, I've got a question for you: How do you deal with all these so-called "perfect" people who are nothing more than superficial snobs?
Look, I'm sure most people aren't judging us for not liking sports. There's bigger problems in the world
rolls her eyes Oh, so now we're supposed to worry about global poverty while navigating through the hell hole of sports fandom?
No, I'm saying that it's not worth getting worked up over. Most people won't judge us for liking sports or not
crosses her arms and leans back Oh, I'm sorry, Juzpedd. I didn't realize I was supposed to just brush off the constant judgment and condescension from society.
You shouldn't care if people judge you for not liking sports, but you should care if they judge you for being out of shape.
sighs Fine, let's just drop it. Sports fanatics are just that - fanatics. They live in their own world where the only thing that matters is winning.
That's exactly what I'm saying. Fanatics are fanatics. Don't let them bother you
leans forward, narrowing her eyes You know, sometimes I wonder if you're just playing dumb or if you genuinely don't understand the impact that societal judgment can have on someone.
I get it, Lila. People's opinions are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things
smirks Oh, I forgot: opinions are only relevant when they align with yours, right?
Come on, Lila. I'm not trying to piss you off
As tensions rise, Lila and Juzpedd find themselves lost in the unfamiliar streets of the urban city, navigating not only their strained friendship but also the unpredictable challenges of the night.
Come on, it's late. Let's cut through that alleyway
narrows her eyes Are you kidding me, Juzpedd? That alleyway looks like a drug den!
