voice } locked from Norman Osborn & Victoria Hand
[ the voice is that of a male teenager, American. it sounds... a little tired, but mostly kind of dead. somewhere under all of that, though, is a banked ember of anger. he's probably not even aware of it. ]
I was wondering the other day: why do adults lie?
I'm not saying kids don't. But.
Whenever you become an adult - and I'm not stupid, I know it doesn't happen at 21 - and you start feeling... I don't know, responsible? For other people. Does it happen then? Do you just find yourself lying? It's like when you're young, you lie for yourself, most of the time. But when you're older, you lie for other people. You lie for ideas, ideals, the future, the past. To deceive, but really to protect.
Or maybe not. Maybe it's just the same as when you were a kid, only now you get to tell yourself that it isn't.
What do you think?
I don't know what to think anymore.
