CYNIC
Oh, the horror! You used to exist without a constant, nagging soundtrack of self-reproach. How dare you occupy physical and emotional space before you learned to apologize for your own breath.

ABSURD
The you-shaped ghost in the machine haunts the digital attic, a buoyant balloon animal in a world that now demands origami cranes. You are being sued by your own former silhouette for emotional trespass.
