scary who was so afraid of genuine pain that she snuffed her desire to care about anything, scary who wanted nothing to lose, scary who was never someone to be proud of, scary who fought to be mean and unlikeable but had a stepdad who was proud of her regardless, scary who tried so hard to convince her friends she was unlovable because that was how she saw herself, scary who found herself loved even at her worst.

normal who was never afraid to care too much, normal who cared unabashedly even when it made him the weird kid, normal who never hid the fact he wanted everyone to like him, normal who took so much pride in himself and his passions until he realized his own dad was never proud of him, normal who found himself pushed aside and ignored no matter how hard he tried to keep loving and supporting his friends.

scary and normal, who constantly craved attention, who so desperately wanted be the chosen one. scary and normal, who just needed someone to choose them, who sought a reason for how alienated and alone and angry they felt.

scary and normal, who were both candidates for willy to manipulate.

and scary, who won that coin toss.
