Alright wait wait let's see. Last we left off, Stanley had a panic attack/became overstimulated because of the fireworks, now we have Alexander and uh, the skip button.
There's gotta be a way to dissolve both issues, at least temporarily. Right?
βFor the most part the issue has been dissolved. We went back to our usual scheduling of stanely running around ruining my story and hiding in a broom closet and being an absolute adorable idiot. Itβs in the past. Regardless both issues have stuck with us and strained us a bitβ¦ we arenβt to sure where we lie now. Friends?,Enemyβs?β¦, wellβ¦ things have just been strained and odd. But we will be making due with every thing.
βStanley probably hated the narrator now. The constant pressing of the skip button was probably payback for the fireworks issue that happened before. Stanley most likely resents every thing the narrator has done nowβ¦ the narrator has no chance with Stanley especially now.β
βWhat? Of course you hate me. youβve been distant and we havenβt addressed any thing about both issues since they happened Stanley! Of course you hate me-β
[I havenβt talked about it because I thought you needed some space while also doing our usual run throughs of the story. I thought you needed some semblance of things going back to normal while also giving you a break from dealing with all of the emotional issues I hoped we could both ease back into talking normally with each other and going back to how things are, but if you want to address whatβs been going on then tell me that I canβt read your mind like you can read mine you know.]
βto be fair Stanley I stopped reading your mind a long time ago remember?β
[the point is I donβt hate you. Never did. I just wish you put a bit more effort into making sure I wouldnβt go through a sensory overload for our dateβ¦ then again thereβs not a lot of loud noises in the parable that would suggest I would have a sensory over load to the noises but you know I have sensory overload to to many colors at once just flashing colors.]
βStanley to be completely honest with you, I didnβt know you had any sort of sensory over load- especially not to flashing colors!β
[why do you think I tried to avoid the zending?]
βBecause you rather throw yourself off some stairs over and over again then sit peacefully in a room with me.β
[no Alexander no! Itβs because the lights are always to much for me! And you where so caught up on the joy of being in that room and I would be so overwhelmed that I couldnβt stim I couldnβt distract my self I couldnβt properly focus on signing and even when I did try to sign you ignored it!]
βIβ¦ I had no ideaβ¦ and whatβs a βstim?β
[stimming is when you do a repetitive action to relax or calm yourself or in some cases people stim when there happy or upsetβ¦ itβs hard to explain but for me itβs clicking on things, buttons specifically, the clicking keeps me calm and happy. Thatβs my stim. And some people have vocal stims like they make sounds or repeat sentences just because it sort of scratches there brain the right way. Now youβ¦ you seem to calm down in zending like areas and you like bright flashy colors it seems your happiest when you see those meanwhile they overwhelm me.]
βI think Iβm starting to understandβ¦β
[the point is I donβt hate you. I still like you, and we both know the skip button ending wasnβt βpay backβ for what happened. The skip button was the only way to go forward. The only way out.]
βWellβ¦ the tables have turned havenβt they Stanley? Iβm usually the one talking and talking and here you are taking the lead and explain how you feel and how things areβ¦ I enjoy this a bit, thank you for explaining how you feel it helps but now the question is what can we do to fix thingsβ¦? I ruined our date- I mean the new ending with the fire works and allβ¦β
[re-write it, your an amazing writer after all, what can you do instead of fireworks� Some thing calmer and more tame? Some thing that can make us both happy?]
βYour rightβ¦.! And there you go again being my muse thank you Stanley.β
βStanley blushed and his his face upon being called the narrators βmuseβ he was beyond flattered and flustered.β
[oh stop calling me out. -///-]
βWell then, Iβll be working on writing a new ending for the βdateβ route. If any readers have suggestions please feel free to suggest them to me.β
