we enter the library.

<iello

the librarian points at a book.

librarian: "would you like to borrow a book?"

the librarian gives us a very big book.

librarian: "this is about a family who loses everything and has to survive together."

> that sounds sad

<iis it about losing shoes

librarian: "not exactly."

^can i eat it

librarian: "please don't."

<i me neither

we stare at the book for ten minutes.

then suddenly i start crying again.

<iwhy you crying now

> because i just realised something

^what

> we are all too stupid to read this book

<i thats actually sad

^can we eat it now

^ok

we leave the library.

outside, it starts raining.

my cardboard shoe instantly turns into soup.

> my shoe

<i its not a shoe anymore

> it was the last thing i had

^you still have the sock

> the sock is on my head

^exactly

> oh yeah

we sit underneath a tree.

the rain falls all around us.

<i maybe life just isnt fair

^can i have your sock

^please

> no

^i am cold

> fine

i take the sock off my head and give it to ^.

^thank you

^puts sock on foot

^my foot is warm now

<i this is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen

we all sit there silently.

then ^ looks at the sock.

^this sock got hole

> of course it does

<i everything we own is broken

> yeah

^even me

> what is broken about you

^my brain

<i same

> same

and for the first time that day, we all laugh.

we have no money.

we have no shoes.

we cant read.

we dont even have a proper roof.

but at least we have each other.

and one extremely broken sock.

^and a rock

> you still have that rock?

^yes

<i can i see it

^no

> why

^it is my emotional support rock

> thats fair

the rain keeps falling.

the three of us sit under the tree, cold and hungry and extremely illiterate.

but somehow, it feels okay.

because even if life is sad, stupid, and full of broken shoes…

we are together.

and that is worth at least seven crumbs.

^i want my crumbs back

> you sold them

^i regret it

<i this story got sad again

> yeah

^can we eat the rock

> no

^why

> because its a rock

^okay

^eats rock

> WHAT ARE YOU DOING

^i was hungry

<i oh my god

^it was crunchy

> i hate this life

^me too

^chews rock

and then it started raining even harder.
