Emma always had a very hard time putting her thoughts into words, and Angel is honestly pretty dumb- but now it’s the perfect time to suffer.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">It’s… look. Ok, so… look. Religion. Nuns. Pressure. Ok. LOOK.</span>
◙ <span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Eh- I’m looking.</span>
Emma slaps her head a bit too hard. The rain doesn't mind. It just gets a bit worse.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">SO, ok, so you know that nuns are a widely known fetish, right? That there are a lot of people that want to… have sex with them. Right?</span>
◙ <span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Yeah, for some reason.</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">So, what happens is that, well, people tell you that you have to be… something, to be happy. Like, for example, nuns tell you that, to be happy, you have to attend church every Sunday, that you have to go out and help poor people, that you can’t have premarital relationships… Am I being clear enough?</span>
◙ <span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">You are good. Keep going.</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">And so, some people end up believing them, and they try to do all of that to be happy, and put all this pressure on themselves to meet those expectations- but, sometimes, they have a hard time keeping up. Or, they can’t, for whatever reason. What do you think that happens there?</span>
◙ <span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">They just go do something else?</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">That would be ideal, but remember that those people were doing what they were told because they thought it would make them happy. They already believe that.</span>
Angel takes out a cigarette but is having a hard time spinning the lighter with her thumb.
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">So now they have to convince themselves that they can be happy in some other way, or that they wouldn’t have been happy doing all of that anyway. Thus, they want to see nuns being happy doing the opposite of what they preach, mainly having sexual relationships. To have a fetish is to want to see something related to happiness through sex; it’s to force an association. And in this case, what’s being associated with the physical pleasure of sex is going against the norms. If it was me, I'd be convincing myself that going against the rules will make me happy.</span>
Angel sighs, giving up. The cigarette is too damp and the lighter got wet. She throws the tiny cancer stick overboard, uncaring of the sea fauna that will end up smoking it.
◙ <span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">To be honest, Emma, I lost you near the end.</span>
▲ <span class="mu-s">Emma</span>: <span class="mu-i">I see.</span>
Emma looks at the floor. Not being smart is not Angel's fault- but she really, REALLY needs her fake twin to understand what she's saying right now.
◙ <span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Does that mean that you want to fuck me because you can’t be like Mom?</span>
Emma wildly opens her eyes as if they were about to be shot like corks in a rifle.
◙ <span class="mu-s">Angel</span>: <span class="mu-i">Eh… does that make any sense? Looking kinda creepy there, sis.</span>
