>>6201550>>6201560>>6201568>>6202227You try to change the subject, talking about your cool band, sister, and hot girlfriend, but eventually... you cave, and tell him how things are really going, how Lily is probably a bad influence and how everything kind of sucks...
"Oh, man... I'm sorry to hear that. Well... I hope today will be fun, anyway."
Yeah... hope...
You ask him about his band.
"Oh, that. It's pretty low-key, mostly friends I met at the shop. My finance is the vocalist. I could never get up and be the vocalist after... well... you know. I still have the scar... It doesn't matter though. Things are good. We, uh, actually still play some of the stuff you wrote."
What?
"Yeah, like that one about the world ending... and the one about... a corpse I think? Or a party? I don't remember. But, yeah. You wrote some pretty good stuff, man."
You ask him if he makes money at his shows.
"Well... some. We sell t-shirts and that. Not very much though."
He's... making... money... off of... your... songs... You suddenly get the urge to rip Eric's throat out, but instead you just stare at him.
"Uh... I hope that's... fine..."
He seems nervous. You start walking away, in hopes of finding Lily.
