Going to thome thtupid event with a bunch of people you don't know doethn't thound fun to me.

But how else will you get to know them if you don't go?

Who'th to thay I want to know them.

Why wouldn't you?

Why would I?

Because the people are the best part of Mayfield! They're all really nice, and come from all different places, and have interesting things to talk about... Plus, since so many terrible things happen here, having good friends to rely on is really important. But if you don't go out there and meet them, then you'll just be all alone.

I have friendth, I don't need any more relathionthipth with people who I don't really care about.

[Sollux she is so sad for you.] Oh. Well, if you insist. Are your friends not going, either?

They're going.

Then you could hang out with them, right?

I gueth tho. But they're all going with partnerth.
