## In the School Hallway

*Jay:* "...You know, I cried today"

*Mandy:* "Oh well, returning to your old self?
I mean, it's fine, I cry all the time too"

*Jay:* "No-no i-it's. It's not because of that
I just.. You know, I've been meditating for past couple of months
and today I have realised something"

*Mandy:* "Oh yeah? Was it like, sad?"

*Jay:* "No, I-I couldn't stop giggling you know?"

*Mandy:* "So what was it?"

*Jay:* "it's going to sound dumb, but like, I know now
that all the thoughts you have in your head are really conflicts"

*Mandy:* "Yeah, the inner monologue and so on. It's like thoughts are arguing in you."

*Jay:* "Yes yes, but the thing is - this *you* is really Just these arguments.
If you look at them, they disappear. And when they disappear, you disappear"

*Mandy:* "Wanna get soda?"

*I think that creep's eavesdropping*

End of dialogue.

## In a Classroom

*Mandy:* "Isn't it like, scary?
I've heard all this "Destruction of self" talk, but it always sounded kinda creepy and edgy.
I wanted to try tulpamancy at some point,
but the very prospect of losing myself to a tulpa scared the shit out of me.
You know, like Koomer and Oguigi."

*Jay:* "It's not about destruction, Mandy. All destruction, all pain, honestly, comes from this... uh..
divide, I guess.
The *self*, I mean
The self *is* by its essence a divide.
The moment you start dividing the inner and the outer, problems come."

*Mandy:* "How can you not do that though? You have your body and mind; so do I.
It's so weird that we even do think that way. Inner, outer are Just Words, honestly."

*Jay:* "...
Say you have a bubble and you say it's your bubble, and I have a bubble
and I say it's mine"

*Mandy:* "uh-huh"

*Jay:* "And then they both pop and suddenly it's just the air. How can you say it's my air?"

*Mandy:* "Hey, Jay, I think he's here again"

*Jay:* "Yeah I know, what the hell does he want, I wonder?"

End of dialogue.

**If player interacts again:**

*Probably best not to bother them*
