Hairy: ... I'm getting a ride with Katie to Adam's wedding. Hoping to see Brian on the way!
Cueball: Oh, that's cool!
Cueball: ... I can't keep living this lie, so I'm just gonna come out and admit it: I have no idea who any of the people you keep mentioning are.

Discussion
I like this one. It feels like acknowledging that you live in a silo, everyone knows this but you (which explains the quizzical looks), and even reminds me that -- should I go out on some public service and comment on trolls, all trolls have to do is delete/edit their posts to make their targets out to be the fools.

A lot of my conversations with old friends or distant relatives goes like this (at least inside my head). "I met X the other day, and he told me Y and Z aren't in speaking terms these days." Who the hell are all these NPCs and why do you [expletive] think that they are relevant to the my gameplay? Nialpxe (talk) 06:55, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
"I can't keep living this lie" would usually be the prelude to a really personally burning confession - like "I've been having an affair" or "I'm only pretending to have a job, I got fired months ago" or "I'm actually gay" - something that might truly shatter trust or transform relationships. Something that's very important to the life you're living. I found it comic that Cueball followed it with so minor a confession. 162.158.6.82 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
