All right. Let’s sort this out.
That monster in front of me… in other words, that person whose pixels were all broken up into a grotesque mess… was definitely my coworker, Ms. Go Youngeun.
Because I could clearly see the goat mask.
‘I kind of feel bad about blasting that flashlight in her face at full power….’
[Text from the image: “I can’t speak, and I can’t properly hear what the other person is saying either…. Since conversation is impossible anyway, then I should at least drive her out of the school. My destructive urge rose to my throat like bile….”]
Grinding my teeth, I tried to focus on the mask instead of the revulsion.
The problem was that normal communication was impossible!
I couldn’t speak, and I couldn’t properly hear what the other person was saying, so….
‘Urgh.’
It felt like the error was filling up even my head. This was driving me insane.
In the end, after thinking over how to communicate, I took out the pen I had brought in my pocket and, trying not to look at the other person as much as possible, wrote on the floor.
Ms. Goat?
Then I waited silently.
The moment “Ms. Go Youngeun” stared at me again and I froze in place,
a reply came back on the A4 sheet on the floor.
Mr. Roe Deer?? Do you still have a sense of self right now?…
