Don't Look


I will not. Not now not ever.

Come on, you just gotta try.

I promise you I won’t change my mind in a million years.

Please, I can hear your future optimism. 

No

Yes. Pleaseee.

No.

Just try it.

No.

Think about the aftermath. A new impression upon the bright, beautiful world.

Fine.

…

That was amazing. I wanna do it again.

That’s great, but I’m never doing that ever again.

Come on.

No, I look at the world differently now.
