# Dialogue Snippets
### Mothy confronts Brandon
*Brandon makes an insulting comment about Mothy, implying they’re a monster.*
Silence falls on the camp, nervous eyes darting towards Mothy. Mothy tilts their head, staring at Brandon. The ‘monster’ figures they should feel insulted, but instead just feels confused. After a few seconds of silence, Mothy begins to type.
“What were you hoping to accomplish by saying that?” They ask.
“What?”
“How were you hoping I’d react?”
“I don’t understand.”
Mothy takes a step closer, maxilla rubbing against each other. “Did you want to anger me, or make me feel bad by calling me a monster? Would you like me to lash out?”
“I don’t… Is that a threat?”
Mothy shakes their head while typing. “I won’t lash out even if you want me too. I want to be friends, but it’ll be difficult if you keep insulting me.”
“But it’s the truth, look at yourself! You’re a cryptid, a monster!”
Luna stands up, fists balled. “Shut up, dude!”
Despite the harsh words, Mothy only flinches. “You seem scared of me, yet you also do things you know might provoke me. Why? It seems contradictory, as if you want to prove your fears correct. I want you to trust me, but I worry you aren’t willing to try.”
“I don’t… This whole situation, it just doesn’t make sense! This isn’t how it works! You’re a cryptid! You’re supposed to be super dangerous! How am I supposed to believe this? You know what my Dad would say? He’d… Fuck. He’d probably say something dumb about how I’m ‘siding with them’ and thinking this is all a trap. Why can’t I ever be right? Why does everyone here insist on tearing apart of my life!?”
