“It’s actually a really tough thing to admit this sort of stuff, yannoe? Some people are delusional, and think it’s normal and painless to admit, or even realize…” Alfred said.

Alfred shrugged.
“But no matter what, it’s kind of cool here. People are cool.” He smiled at Arthur, and dropped is arm. “C’mon, I’m feeling for a cheeseburger.”
