do yalls think my susie looks gay?

..i like when it rains. even though being all soggy after sucks a lot.

what if there's no water? no rainbow?

okay, but if it doesn't happen i'm gonna.. punch you!

i've never seen one.. but clem told me they're super pretty.

then a pile of dead monsters'll look like a rainbow.. kind of gross. i wanna see it, though!!

huh... i want my guts to be like.. blue. or green. or purple!!!

that's not how it works!!!

[ ...... ]

....can that really happen?

stop bullshitting! guts can't be orange!

[ giggling so much!! ] it's hard to carry guts around, you know!! what if i drop 'em?

i don't think anybody likes having a gun pointed at 'em, but.. i only did that cause i thought you were gonna hurt me. and you came up behind me. i don't.. i don't like it when people do that.

..sorry for making you cry.

..i know. i'll be careful. i'm not gonna be a killer.

..i know. i already murdered somebody once.. but i'm trying to a.. atone. be better. that's why i gotta protect my friends and clem. if we kill the raiders, they won't ever come back. they won't be able to hurt us.

// very normal thoughts for a five year old to have

because they're shitheads who steal and hurt kids, that's why. they're bad people who deserve to die.

[ his face darkens, fists clenched at his sides. ]

and i'm gonna be the one to take 'em out.

[ ...after a moment, the gun is stashed away back in his pocket, where it belongs. he still looks at them skeptically, though. ]

..that's why i had to ask. cause lots of people and monsters are out to hurt us, so.. i just had to make sure.

i don't like hurting people either! it's not like i WANT to kill you.

[ the gun lowers just slightly. ]

..do you swear you won't eat me?

// i love aj and gabi so much. theyre like cousins to me

hehehe gross!! it's contagious too so you're also gonna explode into blood!!!

i'm only dangerous if you're a threat to me or clem. i don't.. i won't murder someone if they're.. not a monster. not again.

[ ..not again? ]

and you snuck up on me! what was i sposed to do?

i'm threatening you because you're still a scary stranger, duh? how do i know you're not gonna do somethin'? you could.. eat me or something!

hehe. explode into a bunch of blood and guts and stuff!! sooo gross.

// TELL ME

like eating rocks. huh.. so it's a funny joke if i say i'm gonna.. um.. uh..

no..??

poke-huh??

[ said very seriously ] i'd never put her in danger.

huh.. you should meet clem! you actually look just like this person we know.

but you're some weird... thing. you're scary, too!
