"Kind of? This's arguably the most tragic thing that happened to him."
"Heh~ and that's saying something."
"Like, only Black was black—damn. That hit."
"Not going to lie, though, I was too busy laughing at Black bullying him. The way that owl judges him harder than God—"
"Brother, the 'SOUND OF JUDGEMENT?!' Ahahaha! I lost it."
"I love this big bastard."
"Same."
"Wait, wait, wait—we're glossing over the real crime here. The disrespect to him."
