It’s like, for example, a first date —both parties are already vulnerable because they showed up. But it’s never said. It's so funny. It’s like when people front so much that the room could literally be on fire and they’d be like “Are you hot?�� “No, I’m fine, I’m actually kinda cold,�� and then they burn to death, never admitting that their faces are literally melting.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, The Goodbye Song
