+Days since my last day off from work: 32.
+
+It was 1900 and they were late by a little bit.
+
+Mike: [They] stood you up.
+3:    [They] did not stand me up.
+Mike: [They] totally stood you up.
+
+Eventually they showed up and we went over to the axe throwing range.
+Conversation was slow because it's hard to talk when throwing the axe or
+shuriken and it's hard to hear when a safe distance back in the gallery.
+
+3:   I feel like this isn't really productive to conversation.
+M--: Yeah, let's cut it short.
+
+Then we sat in their Subaru Forrester and smoked some cigarettes (mine green
+tea, theirs tobacco) while thinking.
+
+M--: You know, it's kind of early. Do you wanna do something else?
+3:   The only things to really do around here are axe throw and walk in the
+     woods. Do you wanna go to Thorncraig?
+M--: Sure.
+
+Then we walked in the woods and discussed more things. We told each other a
+couple things we hadn't told anyone else and despite meeting for the first time
+in years (since New Year's 2020? or 2019?) and not really knowing why, I
+trusted them quite a bit. I suggested we go to the woods and walk around alone
+in the middle of the night and they weren't perturbed or anything so they
+trusted me too.
+
+Eventually we drove over to a McDonalds parking lot to continue talking.
+
+3:   What do you wanna do next?
+M--: Do you wanna go to Acadia?
+3:   How far away is that?
+M--: Like, three hours one way.
+3:   Hmm. Sure.
+
+We stopped at a gas station to get snacks for the trip and I got two flavors of
+Chex Mix, regular and Honey Barbecue. I figured they'd like at least one and
+I'd take the other.
+
+M--: Actually I can only have the regular because the other one contains milk -
+     I'm vegan.
+3:   Oh, yeah.
+
+I went back in and looked for vegan gas station foods. It was a lot harder than
+I expected. Everything had milk or eggs. Eventually I found Drake's Apple Pies
+and the purple bags of Doritos (Sweet Chili or something) and probably Oreos. I
+also got a couple jugs of water for the trip.
+
+Eventually we got to Acadia having scream sung most of Nothing But Thieves'
+Broken Machine album together and a lot of 1000 gecs. Little did we know that
+the green tea cigarettes had considerable amounts of caffeine in them and
+that's why we weren't tired.
+
+I miss M-- so fucking much. So much. Nobody hugs the same way they do. Nobody
+headpats the same way. Nobody has the same smile. M--'s smile floods my brain
+with endorphins somehow - it's so eager, enthusiastic, full of umami fun if
+that makes sense. M--'s eyes smile as much as their mouth. They don't restrain
+their grin. M--'s voice is smooth despite having slight rasp, an androgynous
+pitch and the same speech patterns as Rainbow Dash. They have a crush on
+someone I know and that person first described M--'s speech patterns as the
+same as Rainbow Dash and later I told M-- that and they were embarrassed
+because they didn't think Rainbow Dash really seemed like someone a person
+would be into. This is after that person I know watched the Dawn Somewhere
+Rainbow Dash "Oh Baby" video on repeat like a hundred times because they
+thought it was really hot. Sorry to you two if you read this.
+
+M-- deserves the world and I've failed to give it to them.
