Sure, here's a question. Why does life suck so bad?

( kevin's allowed to be kinda emo. sixteen, skinny as a rail, under his clothes he's sweltering in some strange black bodysuit that looks like it's made of rubber or pvc, and he has on full-length black gloves as well. whenever anyone gets too close he jerks away violently. )

The world hates you, specifically. You should maybe cry about it some more, I hear that's useful.

Some people think it happened at the moment of creation. Basically, that existence is fundamentally flawed; that the particles set in motion by the big bang have been moving in a ruinous path from which there is no real deviation.

Does that work for you?

Million different answers to that one. Punishment for original sin, people are inherently wicked, our conscious awareness of our wickedness is some mistake in evolution.

I used to think about it a lot, but then I decided knowing the answer would probably be worse. Fuck all you can do about it.

Because the world is kind of a really screwy place with really screwy people. And things. Really screwy things.

Well, the easy answer is "because we're mutants". [Her smile is wry, and tired.]
