Analysis
Can we reenact that argument that we had yesterday?
Can we reenact that argument that we had yesterday? I'd really like to understand what went wrong in your point of view and my point of view and analyze it so I can recalibrate some data points. What are you doing? Well, you seem sort of upset right now, and I don't know what to do, but I have this friend that's really good at helping me when I'm upset, so I'm trying to figure out what she does so that I could do that for you. Oh, hey. What's this for? Well, you're acting a very specific way that you only ever act when you're thirsty, so I think you need to drink that. Ash, why are you always analyzing me? How would I know anything about you if I didn't analyze you?
