You d-definitely are

"No."

Yes.

Maybe. O-or maybe I’m actually a g-genius!

"Doubt..ful.."

"Seriously, Tim Wrong?"

Yes. Who else would you be?

"My name is Tim Wright, not Wrong."

I do not believe that. Also, hello, nice to meet you. My name is Masky.

"..yes. I know who you are. Nice to meet you too."

Excuse me for being polite.

"Sorry. I'm tired and frustrated."

Join the club. I have to keep numbnuts over here from dumping our medication.

"That sounds exhausting."

It is. He keeps trying to put us in the ARK because of guilt.

"Oh?"

He is a handful. Same when he was a child.

"..Good to know."

It is..Odd meeting another one of you.

"It's odd meeting.. and well.. talking to a Masky."

Do you not speak to your own?

"He uh.. doesn't talk to me. Nor does he like me."

Hm. I am not fond of my Timothy either at times, but he is still mine to take care of.

"I suppose that makes you better than mine."

He probably has his reasons. I am sure.

"Wish I knew what they were."

Does he protect you?

"..Maybe? Probably? I don't know. He fronts most of the time, so protection isn't exactly what he does."

What is your purpose then..

"To be a vessel...."

That seems like a strange purpose. Timothy is meant to keep control most times, he struggles.

"It wasn't my original purpose. But Masky had other plans, so.."

Pfft. What could you have possibly done?

"..Do you not believe I had a purpose or something?"

What was your purpose before? Or did you not have one?

"Well now I don't want to tell you."
