Hi, I'm [Tyler], and this is all about trying to get along with my roommate!

Edit: It isn't going well. This is the only place that keeps everything up to date in real-time. My phone may be compromised, so this is the best way to keep track of everything. In case he comes back.

Breakfast for dinner tonight. I can smell Finn's French toast from the bedroom. Still a weird thing to say.
I'm almost in the kitchen when Brandon steps in front of me.
What now?
"Sorry, quick lesson. No food until you're done."​
But I'm hungry.​
"And you'll use any excuse to get me out of the way. Not this time." He opens his mouth and closes, tries again. "What color is your shirt?"​
I look down. A plain shirt. Boxy.
Green.
​"Why do you wear that shirt?"
​I like it.
​"You like a lot of shirts," he moves closer. "Why this one?"
​I like the color. How it feels. How I look with it on.
​Brandon repeats. "It's how you look in the shirt. The shirt is part of the material of your appearance. You know this. Clothes reflect who you are or a preferred version of you."
​I get it.
​He shakes his head. "What color is your shirt?"
​I look down. Green.
​"How do you know?"
​Because I see it.
​"Stop looking down. Look at me."
​Can you explain what you're doing, please?
​"I'm thinking out loud. We're doing magic."
​Like a spell?
​"What color is your shirt?"
​Green.
​"How do you know?"
​Because I see it.
​Brandon shakes his head and moves his hand between us like he wants me closer. I don't move. "Because you wear it. When you wear the shirt, it's part of who you are. Your shirt is green."
My shirt is green.
"You think Sam is lying, hiding a monster?" Brandon holds his hand straight up and down on top of his head. "How do you expect to get through to him?" I shake my head. He weaves his hands together. All the little cogs mesh. "Start with what you agree on."
It's dinnertime.
He smiles. "It's dinnertime. I would love an egg and cheese sandwich."
I wish this would go away. But I will settle for food.
