[notvictorious]

Trust me, right now everything sounds crazy.

[ihateyouetc]

i'm sorry to have confused you.
this "account" is not mine. i woke up here. i didn't fi9ure the owner would mind
6ecause he hasn't 6een in since i've 6een here
and i feel he won't 6e while i am

[ihateyouetc]

6ut to answer your 9uestion, no.
i've never had amnesia.

[ihateyouetc]

[notvictorious]

Do you know who I am?

[ihateyouetc]

we were friends once a lon9 time a9o
she was happier then
6ut she's someone else now.

[notvictorious]

Hey, if you're not Karkat. What's your name?

[ihateyouetc]

the responsi6ility you're tryin9 to take isn't yours to take.
