## Voice Messages

**Voice Message 1:** I wanna stop being so insecure. I came out hoping to find someone confident, someone who could help me be... better, someone who is... not afraid to... lead... me. Maybe you know someone like that?

**Voice Message 2:** It's really, really complicated. I know it sounds... crazy, but I do love my parents. They're just... not the best parents. That's one of the reasons I like talking to you, you make me feel normal and... like I belong.

**Voice Message 3:** The truth is... I have agoraphobia, severe, crippling, agoraphobia. Like... most people have anxiety, but even leaving home is a huge challenge for me. And in public transportation, I cannot breathe at all.

**Voice Message 4:** Yes. He wished for me to find someone kind, funny, warm,... sweet. Kinda like someone I'm talking to now. The person I can trust and... who- trusts me, the one who's not afraid to talk to each other sincerely. Oh! I got goosebumps. Sorry if that was... too much.

**Voice Message 5:** OK, OK, It's abuse. I'm a grown man who gets abused by his stepdad. Are you happy? Is that what you mean?

**Voice Message 6:** \*laugh\* You affect my work every single day. But give me some time, I'm gonna tell you- I need to tell you... the right way. A-And I really don't... want to scare you off.

**Voice Message 7:** I'm... sure. I couldn't be any more sure than I am right now. I want to prove to you- to myself, that... I can do this. I don't want to be a slave to my mask forever. Besides, i-it means I'll be able to kiss you whenever I want. That gets kinda hard with a mask in the way.

**Voice Message 8:** I'm just writing to tell you what an inspiration you were today. I know it must have been hard for you to remove the mask, but I - truly admire your actions, and will use this as a lesson for my own life and hardships... It is an honor to work alongside you.

**Voice Message 9:** I've been up all night with only instant ramen and energy drinks to sustain me. What if I made a mistake and didn't realize!? Ugh! I shouldn't have worked on it without full concentration! The team is going to hate me for giving them such a... shitty game! Ugghh...

**Voice Message 10:** Cheesy pizza, fizzy drinks, and energy drinks! I've also got the ultimate gaming snack... chips and dip! I've created a little something for you, could be a little childish \*giggles\* but I think you'll like it. I've got what we need to hunker down and play until the sun comes up.

**Voice Message 11 (Same as VM 13 - maybe wrong):** It makes me feel... I'm not sure how to describe it- warm. It makes me feel warm, knowing that I have people on my side. It makes things feel less threatening, it's like I know you guys will be there for me even if things go wrong.

**Voice Message 12:** You know... EXACTLY how to- calm me down. \*Sighs\* How do you do that? One second I'm spiraling, and then you're pulling me back to reality. I honestly don't- know what I'd do without you.

**Voice Message 13 (Same as VM 11):** It makes me feel... I'm not sure how to describe it- warm. It makes me feel warm, knowing that I have people on my side. It makes things feel less threatening, it's like I know you guys will be there for me even if things go wrong.

**Voice Message 14:** I want to see you first, so I can kiss you. I've been thinking about you all day, I just want you in my arms, and looking at me with those dazzling eyes of yours. Hurry up and get here already I'm getting desperate.

**Voice Message 15:** I'm so frustrated! I can't see where things went wrong!! I double checked everything before the release I would have seen this. I left no room for error! How could I have messed up so... massively!

**Voice Message 16:** No! Of course I want you there, it's just... I won't lie, I get a little distracted when you're nearby, I needed to give my all to this. When you're near me, my attention subconsciously wanders... to you. I can't help it.
