Work Text:
I like staring into my PC.
My PC is so nice. He has a face.
I like it when my PC stares back at me.
He makes me happy.
I almost forgot something.
What did I almost forget?
Why did I almost forget?
I wasn't supposed to almost forget.
Why did I almost forget?
I'm trying to remember what I almost forgot.
Hmm... hm...
I forgot.
This is amazing.
With these glasses, I can look anywhere.
I'm looking here. Oh, I'm looking there.
I can look at anything.
I'm looking behind me. It's pretty. I like pretty things.
I'm looking in front of me. It's hard to see.
I can't look at anything. Maybe I should take the glasses off.
But they're pretty.
Today, I woke up near somebody.
But I don't recognize who's somebody.
They were sleeping with me. They're still asleep.
My less conventional side.
Somebody was sleeping with me.
I don't recognize them.
Can you help me figure it out?
Somebody might be somebody you know.
I don't know who somebody is.
They are sleeping in my bed under my covers.
I should know who somebody is.
Why can't I recognize who somebody is?
Something is missing.
What could it possibly be?
I can't properly function. I'm missing something.
I wanna lay down. I can't work like this.
What is missing?
I wanna look at myself. It won't work like this.
Something's missing. My PC won't turn on.
Click, click.
I just can't figure it out.
I did everything right.
Ooh, this one is great.
I like free will because I can do anything.
I like free will becayse I have to choose.
This one too is great.
Ooh!
This one as well!
So many great things. But I have to choose.
I can't do anything.
Have you chosen?
Do you like free will?
I like free will because I can do anything.
The birds are chirping outside.
Today is gonna be a good day.
Nothing like yesterday.
I'm happy.
Something good is gonna happen.
Good things happen to good people.
I like good things.
But I also like bad things.
Birds stop chirping.
Today isn't gonna be a good day.
I can see everyone from here.
I like being with everyone.
Everyone can see me.
Does everyone see you?
You can do it.
You can! I did it. So can you.
I can! You can!
But can you? Not everybody can.
So? Can you do it?
Ooh, a hand.
What are you doing here, hand?
You came here to lend me a hand?
I'll give you mine if you want.
Gasp.
Where is my hand? I'm sorry, I can't help you.
Why are you pulling me so hard?
Please, I have to find my hand. It's important.
Don't pull so hard.
Why are you pulling me so hard?
No.
I don't want you to pull me. I have to go there.
No.
Whimper.
Please, it's important.
Why are you pulling me so hard?
Gone tomorrrow.
I know I will. Will you?
Most people don't think about tomorrow.
Will you be gone tomorrow?
I think about it sometimes.
I'll be gone tomorrow.
Do you think about tomorrow?
I'm sad. Why am I so sad?
It started when my net broke.
I can't do anything. This is the end!
We are scattered because my net broke.
I'm so sad. When will my net work again?
We can't do anything. Did your net broke too?
Oh!
I'm so happy. My net has been fixed.
My net.
Fixed.
Are you free?
I keep feeling chained.
Do you ever feel chained?
One time I thought it was free.
I could look at the sky. Be big.
Fly with the birds. But I can only look down.
You can only look down too.
I still feel chained.
Maybe tomorrow I'll be free.
Reality is such a fickle thing.
Some days, I feel real. Other days, I don't.
At times, dreams feel real.
Sometimes, I'd rather live in dreams than in reality.
Reality is such a fickle thing.
But I can make it work. Why can't dreams be reality?
I keep thinking about this. My dream is to run away.
Have you already ran away?
Oh, how do I do this?
Hi, I'm Poppy. I don't know how to do this.
I'm trying to figure it out. Am I doing it right?
I can't tell. I've gone so much time without knowing how to do this.
Click, click.
I can't do this. I'm doing it wrong.
I'm frustrated.
I'm Poppy and I'm frustrated. I don't know how to do this.
Oh! I think I got it!
Did I? Oh, I just can't do it right!
Click, click.
I can do this.
There you are! I think I've done it right.
Did I?
Did I do it right?
It works, I must have done it right.
But I can't tell.
Did I do it right?
Ooh, I almost had it.
I feel it.
With my hands, with my face.
But I don't have it. I almost had it.
I can feel it here, though.
Wait!
Ooh, I almost had it.
I can't feel it anymore.
There's fog.
Maybe my PC will help me.
Oh! I almost have it!
I feel it.
With my head, with my eyes.
It's...
It's...
It's...
I almost had it.
There's fog.
Hi, I'm Poppy.
Today is a special day.
Shuffle.
It's a very special day because I got my new phone.
The old one was still good. But I wanted a new one.
It's amazing, really.
Turns on.
I'm sad sometimes.
But with my phone, I feel happy.
I don't remember a time when I didn't have my phone with me.
My phone is my best friend.
I feel happy that I have a new phone.
At times, the fog clears. That makes me sad.
But with my phone, I feel happy.
I can talk with everyone. It can talk with me.
That makes me happy.
My phone is my best friend.
I can't imagine a day without my phone.
I love fiction.
Fiction is better than reality at times. Often, it imitates reality.
But I hate characters.
They mean harm. Hating them is the only way.
I hate characters that talk.
I hate characters that think.
They harm me. There's no other way than hating them.
I hate characters that make me talk.
I hate characters that make me think.
I'm very upset, therefore I will hate them.
I hate characters that look like me.
I especially hate those.
I think this mirror broke.
That's not my face.
I'm not looking at myself.
Who are you? You definitely aren't me.
It doesn't feel like me.
I don't feel like myself.
You aren't me.
I'm not me.
Me.
I'm Poppy.
Something feels different today.
What is different?
Hm...
I'm Poppy. I'm still Poppy.
But it feels different.
It feels good.
It feels like a massage.
The wind is blowing differently.
I like this.
I'm gonna ride it.
