[If you happen to be out and about today, you might notice one (1) Kuma walking around, staring at a list in his hand and looking awkwardly around. He is lost.]

Huh, I don't know where the hell to get any of this. I should have a map or somethin'. Damn it...

[notices him! So he walks to him, a bit surprised]

Sensei..?

[hearnolie]

I would have never guessed you felt so old already.

[insecto_phobia]

Maybe I ain't too old, but it seems that way when you look back and see how much shit you've done in your life. You'll feel that way one day.

[hearnolie]

That's depressing, sensei.

[insecto_phobia]

Stop bein' a baby. Be a man.

[hearnolie]

I'm not being a baby!

[insecto_phobia]

Then what's with that depressin' stuff? It's called life.

[hearnolie]

I like to keep a more optimistic outlook of life.

[insecto_phobia]

Right. Try bein' realistic, it'll probably get you a lot further in life. If you're lucky, in the next ten years you'll be just like me.

[hearnolie]

Things can change if you want them to. Well, sometimes.

[insecto_phobia]

What are you, a girl? Stop givin' stupid advice like that.

[hearnolie]

It's not stupid advice, and I'm not a girl.

[insecto_phobia]

What is it with all these young guys nowadays, huh? You all think feelings are so great to share with everyone?

[hearnolie]

I'm just saying that if you try to fix things, you can fix them!

[insecto_phobia]

What did your mother do to you?

[hearnolie]

... what? Nothing, what are you talking about?
