Fine For Now by Grizzly Bear
“But…you’re still an incredibly important part of the Illuminati.” says Kate.
“Yeah. Because I keep their secrets.” says Chris.
“You do.” says Kate.
“ I’m just curious if this is true other than like logistical things I don’t know what secrets you’ve been able to keep through this whole eight your process if this if this is true and you’re really talking to her and illuminati getting her involved has destroyed that you have no more secrets Chris the whole illuminati has no more secrets we have no secrets anymore. If this blog is real anyone that reads it knows that we exist and does a heck of a lot about us probably more than they know about their own job more than you know but it’s OK. It’s their own family or even local community and a very hilarious way, you’ve made the illuminati a sort of cultural, touchstone him. You’ve made us extraordinarily relatable except you haven’t. Lacey has, but this whole thing has allowed us to become very relatable to people which is sort of nice in a way we’ve had a realize ourselves in some cases that were still human I think of us maybe didn’t realize that any more about ourselves, but That that’s kind of not really you keeping the secrets right so that didn’t work out so well the thing is are you do still keep the logistical secrets that you know of so that’s good but now everyone knows that you do which is actually partially our fault I mean Let’s be honest I’m sorry to feel like I’m in a reality show on this block him the real you know characters of the illuminati America actually worldwide I’m so no I was just like we’re frustrated because you really shouldn’t have started talking to her I know it wasn’t you I know it was Diego, but you really shouldn’t have started talking to her And you shouldn’t have really let Diego get away with that. That was bizarre that you let him get away with that. I don’t understand that. Why did you let him get away with that?” asks a woman.
“ I let him get away with that because I didn’t understand that wasn’t allowed. I thought that that made sense.“ says Chris.
“ because he was your lover and you’re queer and you thought because it’s so newfangled and exciting to society that you would be allowed to get away with stuff which actually is so much true sadly people we make way too many allowances or have for homosexual people, but that’s the problem though that’s not really a good thing regardless of whether or not it’s allowed and have it that’s very toxic him so then why did you decide to just like I’m so just trying to fathom why what about Diego justified your irresponsibility towards humanity?” she asks.
“ I am I just thought that it I’d I just I just thought you know that it made sense because Diego is Diego and if you met Diego, you would’ve understood that he was a sparkling star of a man and he he was really special.” says Chris.
“ right but that’s what a lot of people experience when they’re in love that’s not unique to you, so what about you specifically in your particular circumstance made you think that you could just cut through corners that like keep up city blocks like what what was the idea?“ she says.
“ the idea was that Diego deserves the world.” says Chris.
