Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:00]What's the matter with Do I have to meet her alone?

[00:00:06]Yeah, well, it's kind of how she's always been, to be honest. Just, you know, meeting anyone for the first time.

[00:00:13]How long are you going to be gone for?

[00:00:16]I don't know. Somewhere about a couple of hours.

[00:00:21]Just She wants to get to know you without me having to speak for you.

[00:00:26]I'm still annoyed you told her that I was shy. Thanks for that. Oh, but it's just my bad, sorry. I just thought, you know, if she already knew before you came that you were shy, then you'd be less nervous.

[00:00:40]Well, I'm not.

[00:00:42]I'm not good at meeting new people.

[00:00:44]Just worried. Honestly, you'll be fine.

[00:00:48]At the end of the day, she's my mom.

[00:00:50]If there's any weird things that go on, just call me.

[00:00:57]Right. Oh, and before we go, um she collects a bunch of weird [ __ ] But it's just best to just ignore it, to be honest.

[00:01:10]Come in with me, at least.

[00:01:12]Of course I'm coming in with you. I got to introduce you in the first place, don't I?

[00:01:16]Right. Come on, then.

[00:02:21]>> All right. She's not answering, so I'm just going to go check out in the woods.
