Hard-light Heartline

Lament the loss of pie.

That PIE was meant to be your project for today! The culmination of an entire day of hard work! You made the FILLING and DOUGH from scratch and slaved over your MESSY COUNTERTOPS and HOT OVEN for hours just to make sure it would cook evenly and without any spills! And for what?! All to be ruined by your nuisance of a NEIGHBOUR! You tell her to keep it quiet, but the young lady never learns! It's inappropriate! It's unbecoming! You struggle to maintain your composure. You really want to give that WOMAN a piece of your MIND. Or maybe a ROLLING-PIN to the KNEES.




But at the same time, you're not entirely blameless. You're not stuck here; you've always been free to leave and put in a request to move to another APARTMENT. There's also nothing stopping you from baking in VIRTUAL REALITY, which would guarantee you peace and quiet. But you never did. You're not sure if it's you being lazy, or because you fear that some spiteful part of you secretly enjoys having someone to dislike.

You just want to be a good HOUSEWIFE.

Maybe you should just go next door and have an honest heart-to-heart. Try to connect with the GIRL and see if you can understand her motivations and aspirations. Yes, that would be nice. You could even have her over for TEA.
