DELTA: [thinking] Okay what do I have to eat...

SALEM: [internal dialogue] You didn't buy any sweets!!!　[← emotional eater]

TOPAZ: えっと…　ブェェェ～ [← doesn't like sweets that much so forgot]

DELTA: [← anorexic & just wants to survive mealtime]

TOPAZ: And what did we learn today? [← spent the afternoon cleaning moldy dishes & going to the grocery store]

DELTA & SALEM: [← hate doing chores and enable each others' procrastination until it becomes a problem]

SALEM: You know this also explains some other points of contention too... [← greyro(?) homosexual]

DELTA: [← aroace]

TOPAZ: [← hypersexual faggot]

KITTY: [← sexual trauma]

BLUE: [← literally a minor]

DELTA: Okay, sound off. Who do we know is here? [← logical self, copilot]

SALEM: [← social self, copilot]

TOPAZ: [← sexual self, desire/vices]

KITTY: [← preteen self, memory/sadness]

BLUE: [← child self, joy/greif]

RED: [declined to be depicted] [← angry self, rage/justice]

SALEM: Aren't you a dragon?

TOPAZ: That's just my fursona.

DELTA: My theory is that each of us plays a different roll as "Matt". I'll draw a chart for you.

SALEM: That looks like a penis.

DELTA: SHUT UP

[sketch of mental map with note: IRL it took a few drafts to get here]

SALEM: What if you're wrong, though? Aren't you worried that pretending we're separate exacerbates the problem?

DELTA: Well, obviously. But at worse it's just a way to process our thoughts & feelings, right?

DELTA: I'm not exactly happy about the idea, either. But we've exhausted so many other options.

DELTA: We know that whatever is going on can't continue w/o risk to ourself & others.

DELTA: Besides, it would explain quite a lot, wouldn't it?

MATT: Huh? How long have I been here? Did I drive???

MATT: [← talking to self] You need to cut that out!!

MATT: [can't remember childhood]

MATT: When was the last time I could feel sad or angry?

MATT: [zoning tf out]

SALEM: Okay, you're making a little too much sense here, but I don't want to jump to conclusions.

SALEM: I've said for years I am one guy. You are just my anxiety! [former therapist] said so!

DELTA: That's what I'm saying! YOU are ONE guy! I am ONE guy! But it's not YOUR body either, is it?

DELTA: So WHO does it belong to??

DELTA: WHO IS "MATT"!?

SALEM: ...

SALEM: Well you are certainly more than just logic, Delta.

DELTA: As far as I can tell, it's basically like none of us are complete people. We're more like fragments.

DELTA: You know, like in Red vs. Blue.

DELTA: For example, I'm basically like Delta since I'm the logic.

DELTA: Then there's [redacted] and [redacted] & maybe others.

SALEM: Cringe analogy, but I follow.

SALEM: So I guess that makes me Alpha right—

DELTA: Well, about that.

DELTA: You're probably not the core self.

DELTA: Anyways now that you're finally willing to cooperate with me, we can start putting together all the pieces...

SALEM: [← ENTIRE PERSPECTIVE SHATTERED]

[stuck in my apt during ice storm...]

SALEM: AUGH! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!

SALEM: Okay, fine. I'll play along. If I really am crazy, if any other selves really exist,

SALEM: Then you should be able to respond to this prompt.

???: Oh fuck finally.

???: You're actually going to acknowledge me?

SALEM: Well that's not the response I wanted.
