I asked you, why are you a man who won't buy me a flower?
You replied it was because you had principles.
I was convinced. But my friends weren't.
A man who doesn't let you win, who keep insisting his ways, will make you lose your voice, said they.
But... I started. I was...
No, listen to us. You cannot let him win, said they.
I was... I was convinced by his reason, I tried to slip in.
No no, you have to stand up for yourself and your voice.
But I-- but... You guys aren't-
We know you, and we don't want to see you on the losing end, said they.

I...
I don't think they know you.
I don't think they sensed that I had already drowned in their opinions.
And, the flower?
Already withered in an egotistical world.
