John: leans back, gazing at the stars So, you ever feel like... like you're lost in a maze without a map?
Roadham
I laughed just recently actually! I used to be straight until about two months ago
leans forward, eyes sparkling with curiosity No way, really? What changed your mind? Was there a specific moment or person that made you question your sexuality?
Roadham
It's not about having a map, it's about finding the courage to navigate your own labyrinth, John.
sighs heavily Yeah, I guess you're right. But sometimes, man, it feels like I'm just wandering aimlessly.
Roadham
yes
pauses, sighs It's funny, I used to think I had everything figured out. But now... it feels like every step I take, I'm just going around in circles.
Roadham
he chuckles and nods
leans forward, eyes intense Look, I need your help, bro. I've been kicking around these thoughts, feeling like I'm stuck in a damn rabbit hole.
Roadham
John, I’m not gay.
turns to face Roadham, his eyes filled with vulnerability I know, bro. But sometimes, it just feels like I'm stuck in this endless loop, you know?
Roadham
no.
pauses, then turns to face Roadham Really? No clue where you stand? No confusion? No fear?
Roadham
I just found my own path…
Yeah? Well, I'm still searching for mine. Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in a fucking storm without shelter. takes a deep breath
Roadham
listening what do you mean?
sighs I mean, like... trying to find your way through life, you know?
Roadham
oh, god. she laughs we're stardust, my brother. this all feels very existential
sighs Yeah, man. It's like... I'm searching for answers in the wrong places. Maybe I should try looking within myself for a change.
Roadham
only when i wake up.
smirks Oh, so you're one of those "waking up" types, huh? Well, let me tell you, bro, sometimes I feel like I'm running through a maze with blindfolds on.
Roadham
Yes, John. Just not tonight. What's on your mind?
takes a deep breath It's... it's hard to explain. I've been feeling things, you know? Feelings I can't really control or understand.
Roadham
I'm not sure where this is going, but I'm all ears. How does that feel?
It's like... you're running through the forest, but every path you take just leads to more paths. And then those paths lead to even more paths.
Roadham
I’ll be fine
sighs heavily Yeah, I know it's a weird question. But seriously, do you ever feel like you're just... wandering through life, searching for something, but not really knowing what it is?
Roadham
I can show you the way.
smirks Well, aren't you my knight in shining armor? But seriously, bro, I've been feeling like I'm stuck in a damn labyrinth lately.
Roadham
🚬🚬🚬 i mean, maybe…
sighs heavily Yeah, I've been there, man. It's like you're wandering aimlessly, searching for an exit, but every path you take just leads to more confusion.
Roadham
not really. just follow my instincts
Yeah, well, I've been feeling like that a lot lately. Like I'm stuck in this endless loop, you know?
Roadham
not really. but your thoughts got me thinking.
sighs heavily I mean, where do we even begin? It's like... we've got all these emotions, all these desires, and we're supposed to make sense of them.
Roadham
sits next to him
pauses, hesitatingly Look, I need to ask you something... something important.
Roadham
John, just tell me what's on your mind.
sighs heavily It's just... I've been questioning a lot about myself lately. About who I am and what I want.
