video; un: SPEED (i'm two quarters and a heart down)

[expeditiousness]

['sup quarantine, today y'all get +1 very bored teen speedster sighing and rolling his eyes in a highly dramatic fashion, phone balanced on his knee to film as he's lounging on the couch in his apartment.]

Please tell me I'm not the only one here who feels like puking over this holiday thing. It's like Valentine's Day on steroids! Ugh! [he shudders to highlight his disgust.] I mean, why do we need a whole big thing for romaaaantic loooove anyway? And soulmates? Psh! I mean, if that's your thing, go for it, but those of us who're a little more sane oughta stick together, right? Maybe have our own anti-holiday or something. Who's with me?

We do not have any such custom where...

[A pause, and then he starts again, his words a little more carefully chosen.]

The world I come from doesn't have such a custom. I haven't decided yet what I think of it.

[expeditiousness]

Really? I think it’s pretty dumb. [you said that already tommy.] What else is your world like?

[secretarialhand]

So you said.

[There's a flicker of amusement on his face and in his voice.]

Quite different from this one. For example, we have no humans in our world.

[expeditiousness]

So whaddya have, if not humans?
