Corinth
Well, I have a pretty sparse idea of what's necessary. Joy, mostly. I think that's why I'm so worried about you, despite not knowing you all that well. I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone sound so joyless. And it doesn't seem like you at all.
I can keep you company not as a person, if you want. Rat, dog, or bird, take your pick. Or horse, but they're harder to fit places.
