If I could go to a Halloween party, I would go as a doctor and repeatedly tell people "your labs are fine" "it's stress" "you're just deconditioned". I would whisper it in their ear.

Only me, the driver, and a lady are on the bus. Then there's an alarm so we all get into the lobby of a nearby building. I'm taking some photos and the lady angrily asks _Why_? Lady, it's my first time. Wouldn't you want to keep some memories from your first time if you could?
