[Souji's sitting on his couch with several books stacked beside him and origami cranes lining the window sill behind him. He's not looking directly at the camera when the feed comes on, but the way he sits back a little as it starts indicates that he turned it on intentionally.

He's quiet for a few seconds, as though he's listening to something. Then he looks at the device, pensive.]

How much should someone worry about the future? Or is the present more important?

[He isn't addressing anyone in particular, but he sounds like he needs a second (actually a seventh) opinion on this.]

[The future? Sollux surely has all your answers. Or at least all the pessimism you will ever need.]

iif you're haviing two a2k about the future and pre2ent doe2 that mean you iineviitably diid 2omethiing that wiill me22 everythiing up later??
that'2 what ii've learned ii2 u2ually the ca2e.
when you 2tart two care.
becau2e iit'2 two late.
ii gue22 you 2hould care more about the pre2ent though.
already two many guy2 on the dancefloor dealiing wiith the future.

I dont think Ive messed up the future. [Saving the world probably counteracts anything he could have done to screw things up, right?]

If the present is what dictates the future youre probably right.

no don't fuckiing jiinx iit liike that.
my opiiniion ii2 never riight thii2 ii2 ju2t an accepted fact of the uniiver2e.
but iif you came two a conclu2iion 2o ea2iily iin the fiir2t place
why diid you bother two a2k anyone about iit??

I couldnt reach a consensus.

mo2t people would ju2t pull up a macro then and be liike
why not have both??

I like to hear what other people think about things.
It helps me figure things out.

[~~I just noticed Souji's imperfect typing. It's cute.~~]

2o what diid you have before?
the 2tuff and rea2on2 you came up wiith by your2elf.
eheh though ii gue22 you could have cheated and ju2t a2ked the 2econd you thought of iit.
wiith your biig dii2play of thiing2.
that would be fiine two.

display of things?

[Action-wise, he looks around.]

You mean the cranes? I dont like throwing them away.

ii do not know what that mean2.
but iif iit your fancy word for dramatiic camera angle2 and perfectly tiidy 2hiit then ye2.
that ii2 exactly what ii meant.

i guess only using text would mean I wouldnt have to worry about those things being an issue.
although they werent an issue for me either way.

The cranes are the birds folded out of paper in the window.

2o why would you do any of that iin the fiir2t place?
makiing thiing2 two have i22ue2 wiith or foldiing paper.
what doe2 thii2 even have two do wiith the pre2ent?

nothing. you mentioned it so I was explaining.
I dont have issues with any of it.

2o iit wa2 on purpo2e then??
you're really fuckiing weiird okay.

no it wasnt on purpose
I didnt think about it at all until you brought it up.

you ju2t diid that 2hiit on purpo2e then
doe2 everyone do that??
liike no one thiink2 about the thiing2 they do before they do them.

[Souji, your ability to get Sollux off track is truly amazing.]

wait what are we talking about?
I folded the paper and put the cranes there on purposed.
but I didnt put them in the feed on purpose

haha liike ii fuckiing know what we're talkiing about anymore.
iif you want two know 2croll up and read the log or 2omethiing.
the whole off-2ubject ordeal
ii2 2tiill your fault though.

im not sure how it can be my fault if you cant remember what it is were talking about in the first place.
but its not really a big deal either way.

so you were saying not to worry about the future because its going to be bad no matter what?

uh
yeah that 2ound2 liike 2omethiing ii would 2ay.
becau2e iif iit'2 2crewed iit'2 2crewed unle22 you've got ace22 two tiime 2henaniigan2 iit'2 not goiing two get fiixed.
2o ju2t tell iit two 2uck an egg and that you'll deal wiith iit later.
even iif that wiill kiind of make the future the pre2ent at that poiint?
ugh iidk ii alway2 get confu2ed.

its okay.
I think Ill have to just stop worrying about it anyway, since I cant do anything about it right now.

better than not beiing able two do anythiing about iit at all ever.
could be that.
that alway2 2uck2.

I guess you have experience with that?

what you don't??

only a little.

are you goiing two try two break the mold then?
though you 2eem pretty wiilliing two accept thiing2.
both doe2n't really work here.
