my friend accidentally showed me a screenshot that wasn’t meant for me

this happened like 2 weeks ago and the whole thing still feels awkward every time i think about it me and my friend “daren” were just hanging out at his place playing games, nothing serious just normal weekend stuff at some point he starts laughing at something on his phone and goes “nah look at this” and hands me the phone to show me a screenshot it was some random conversation at first but while i was looking i noticed another image right below it in his gallery and instantly recognized my girlfriend “serin” in the preview not even just her face like clearly a private picture she sent him my brain actually froze for a second cuz i genuinely thought maybe i saw it wrong or maybe there’s some explanation but then he realized what was visible and snatched the phone back way too fast and that reaction alone told me everything the whole mood changed instantly like one second we’re joking around and the next it’s dead silent he starts going “bro it’s not what it looks like” which honestly is probably the worst sentence anyone can say in that moment cuz when has it ever NOT been what it looks like i asked him straight up why he has pictures from my girlfriend and he keeps avoiding the question talking in circles saying they “talked a bit” and it “went too far” at that point i could actually feel my hands shaking cuz it didn’t even feel real this was one of my closest friends and apparently this had been happening behind my back the whole time i left without even arguing much cuz honestly i didn’t trust myself to stay calm after that i called my girlfriend immediately and at first she denied everything completely like full confidence saying she has no idea what i’m talking about but the second i mentioned the screenshot there was this silence on the phone that basically confirmed it then came the excuses saying it was “just messages” and “nothing physical happened” but honestly once you reach that point the details don’t even matter anymore cuz the trust is already dead what really messed me up wasn’t even the cheating part it was how normal everything felt before i found out like we all hung out together joked around acted like friends meanwhile this weird secret thing was happening in the background and i was apparently the only one who didn’t know since then i cut both of them off completely and the craziest part is neither of them even seemed that shocked by it like they expected me to eventually find out or something now every time someone hands me their phone to show me something i get this weird feeling remembering how fast one accidental screenshot completely changed how i see two people i trusted the most

this happened recently and i still feel weird about it cuz i don’t even know if i was supposed to find out like this i was at home just chilling nothing special my brother “daren” left his phone on the table and went to the other room i wasn’t paying attention to it at all until a message popped up on the screen from someone named “lira” and it showed just enough to catch my eye something like “does she still not know?” and that line just stuck for a second i didn’t even mean to but yeah i picked up the phone just to see what it was about and i know i probably shouldn’t have but curiosity got me i opened the chat and instantly realized this wasn’t something small they were talking about a girl “serin” and it didn’t take long to understand they meant his girlfriend the messages were going back and forth about meeting up, hiding it, making sure “she doesn’t find out” and at that point my brain just kinda froze cuz it was clear what was going on he wasn’t just texting someone else he was actively cheating and planning around it like it was normal i put the phone down right away like it burned my hand cuz suddenly i realized i’m in the middle of something i wasn’t supposed to see he came back a minute later acting completely normal like nothing is happening and i just sat there trying to act normal too which felt way harder than it should be cuz now every word he says sounds fake knowing what i just read since then it’s been stuck in my head every time i see him texting, every time his girlfriend is around being nice, laughing, trusting him i keep thinking she has no idea and i’m just there knowing everything and doing nothing i thought about telling her more than once but then it’s like…that’s my brother at the same time what he’s doing is messed up and i know it but getting involved would probably blow everything up and i don’t even know if it’s my place to do that so now i’m just stuck in this weird position where i know something i wish i didn’t and there’s no good option either i stay quiet and feel like i’m part of it or i say something and create a whole situation that might mess up everything between us the worst part is how normal everything still looks from the outside like nothing changed but for me it did the moment i saw that message and now every time i hear his phone buzz i can’t help but think about it again cuz yeah sometimes you find out things by accident and you can’t just “unsee” them and that’s the part nobody really talks about how knowing something can be just as uncomfortable as being directly involved in it

UPDATE: honestly didn’t expect this post to blow up the way it did. i’ve been reading the comments for the last few hours and yeah…some of you are really making me think harder about this situation. a lot of people are saying i should tell her immediately, others are saying stay out of it cuz it’s family and honestly that’s exactly why my head’s been messed up since this happened. i know what my brother is doing is wrong, trust me. seeing people in the comments call it “double betrayal” actually hit me cuz that’s kinda what it feels like even if it’s not happening directly to me. some people asked if i confronted him again and yeah, briefly. he mostly tried to downplay it and acted like it’s “complicated” which honestly just annoyed me more. meanwhile his girlfriend is still acting completely normal around everyone and that’s the part that keeps bothering me the most. i appreciate everyone sharing their own stories too cuz some of them were actually crazy and made me realize this situation can get way worse the longer it stays hidden. still not fully sure what i’m gonna do yet but i just wanted to say thanks for all the comments, even the harsh ones. didn’t expect random strangers online to actually make me think this much about everything.

this whole thing started from something so small i didn’t even think twice about it at the time i was at work doing a normal shift nothing stressful just routine same tasks same people my coworker “daren” comes up and goes “hey don’t forget to log that later” and points at this one entry in the system nothing urgent literally takes like 2 minutes so i just say yeah yeah i got it and keep doing what i was doing then of course other stuff comes in, people asking questions, small tasks here and there and that one thing just completely leaves my brain like gone few hours pass and suddenly my boss “tarel” calls me over and asks “did you log that report?” and instantly i get that feeling in my stomach cuz i already know the answer but i still check like maybe i did it and forgot but nope nothing there so i tell him i’ll do it now thinking it’s not a big deal but he just looks at me and goes “it needed to be done earlier” in that calm tone that’s somehow worse than yelling i go do it right away takes me literally 2 minutes exactly like i thought and i’m thinking ok done, problem solved but yeah…not really later that day i hear him talking to someone else about “missed logs” and “system issues” and i already know this is about me next morning it gets worse he calls me into the office and starts talking about how that missing log caused confusion with another team and delayed something bigger apparently they were waiting on that info and because it wasn’t there they assumed something else and everything got pushed back i’m just sitting there thinking how was i supposed to know it connects to all that nobody said it was important just “do it later” and now suddenly it’s this chain reaction problem he starts bringing up “responsibility” and “reliability” and i can already see where this is going like one small mistake turning into a whole judgment about me i tried explaining that i didn’t ignore it on purpose just forgot for a bit and fixed it as soon as i realized but once someone is in that mindset it doesn’t really matter what you say he just nods in that way like he heard me but already decided something and then he hits me with “we’ll see how things go this week” which basically means you’re being watched now whole week felt off every small thing i did i double checked like 3 times feeling like one more mistake and that’s it people weren’t saying anything directly but you could feel that shift like quiet attention on you and it messes with your head cuz now you’re overthinking everything over something that took 2 minutes to fix then at the end of the week he calls me in again and i’m already expecting the worst but instead he just says “this week was better” like that’s it no apology no acknowledging that maybe it got blown out of proportion just a simple “do better” type of talk and i walked out of there kinda relieved but also annoyed cuz this whole situation started from something so small and somehow almost turned into me losing my job makes you realize how stupid it sounds but also how real it is like at work there’s no such thing as a “small thing” you think you’ll do it later but later can turn into a whole chain of problems you didn’t even know existed so yeah now if someone tells me to do something that takes 2 minutes i just do it immediately cuz apparently those 2 minutes can decide way more than they should

this happened a few nights ago and i still keep thinking about it cuz it doesn’t sit right with me i was already in bed around 2am, not fully asleep just scrolling half tired half awake you know that state where you should sleep but don’t my phone rings out of nowhere and i see a name i didn’t expect “lira” we used to talk a lot before but not really anymore, kinda faded out over time so seeing her call at that hour felt weird i stared at the screen for a few seconds thinking if i should answer or not but my brain just went “nah deal with it tomorrow” and i let it ring out she didn’t call again no message nothing and i just went to sleep like it was nothing next morning i wake up, check my phone and still nothing from her so i just move on with my day didn’t think much of it until later that afternoon one of my friends texts me “yo you heard about lira?” and instantly something feels off i ask what happened and he tells me she had a bad night, like really bad, argument at home, left the house for a while, phone almost dead, trying to reach people i just sat there reading that message over and over cuz now that call suddenly meant something different it wasn’t random it wasn’t just a “hey what’s up” type thing she actually needed someone and i just ignored it cuz i didn’t feel like picking up at 2am i checked my call log again like maybe i imagined it but nope it was right there missed call 2:07am from her i thought about texting her but what do you even say “hey sorry i ignored you when you needed help”? that sounds as bad as it is so i just waited and later she finally texted me something simple like “hey” like nothing even happened and that somehow made it worse cuz it felt like she already moved past it while i’m stuck thinking about that one moment i answered casually we talked a bit but i didn’t bring it up and neither did she but the whole time i had that thought in the back of my head that i could’ve just picked up it would’ve taken 10 seconds to answer and see what’s going on and maybe it wouldn’t change anything or maybe it would i’ll never know that’s the annoying part it’s not like i did something terrible i didn’t even know but at the same time it still feels like i missed something important over something as stupid as “i’ll deal with it tomorrow” and now every time my phone rings late at night i don’t even think about it i just pick up cuz yeah…turns out some calls actually matter you just don’t realize it at the time

one of those days where from the moment you wake up you already feel like something’s off alarm didn’t go off, woke up late, rushed out without even thinking, forgot my wallet the first time so had to go back, already stressed and it wasn’t even 9am yet i had something important that day, not life changing but still something i didn’t want to mess up on the way there the bus was delayed, of course, then when it finally came it was packed like crazy i was already thinking yeah…this is not gonna go well then at some point i realized my phone battery was at like 5% no charger, nothing so now i’m late, stressed, and about to lose my phone completely for the day perfect when i got off the bus i was walking fast, not really paying attention and i accidentally bumped into this older guy “varen” not hard or anything but enough to make him drop the small bag he was holding and yeah…stuff fell out normally i’d probably just say sorry and keep going cuz i was already late but something made me stop i helped him pick everything up, nothing big just groceries, apples rolling around, small things he didn’t get mad or anything, just said “happens” we talked for like 20–30 seconds while picking stuff up, i apologized again and then left lost even more time because of that so now i’m basically running i get to the place and…i’m late like actually late, not “just on time” late and i’m already thinking yeah great, all that stress for nothing i walk in expecting the worst turns out they were running behind too like by a lot i ended up waiting anyway so all that rushing didn’t even matter while i’m sitting there my phone finally dies, so now i’m just stuck with my thoughts and no distractions after a while someone sits next to me and yeah…it’s the same guy from earlier i didn’t even notice at first he looks at me and goes “you again?” we both kinda laugh turns out he works there not even in a small role, like actually someone important in that place we start talking properly this time, just normal conversation, nothing forced and i mention why i’m there he just nods and goes “yeah, i can help with that” and i’m thinking he’s just being polite but when my turn comes up things suddenly go way smoother than expected like noticeably easier i don’t know how much he actually influenced it but it definitely didn’t hurt when i was leaving he just said “good thing you stopped earlier” and yeah…that kinda stuck with me because if i didn’t i probably would’ve just rushed past him, maybe not even noticed and the whole day would’ve played out completely different it’s weird cuz the day felt like bad luck from start to finish everything going wrong one after another but that one small moment in the middle kinda flipped it not in some magical way just…timing i guess made me think how random things connect sometimes like you’re having a bad day, everything feels off and then one small decision ends up mattering more than everything else idk still feels weird thinking about it

this is gonna sound kinda stupid but it’s been on my mind way more than it should

there was this girl “elira” i started talking to a few months ago, nothing official, just texting at first, then calling sometimes, sending random stuff during the day

it wasn’t even planned, we just kinda started talking one day and it kept going

and the thing is it felt easy

like no pressure, no overthinking what to say, conversations just kept going naturally

she was always the one who texted first tho

like every morning i’d wake up and there’d be a message from her already, something simple like “good morning” or a random meme

and i got used to it

probably too used to it

i never really thought about it much, just replied, talked, laughed, normal stuff

sometimes i’d start conversations too but if i’m honest it was mostly her

then one day it just…stopped

no message in the morning

i didn’t think much of it at first, just assumed she’s busy or slept in

so i waited

whole day passed, nothing

and that’s when i noticed how quiet my phone felt

which sounds dumb but yeah

i kept checking it without even realizing

next day same thing

no message

so i finally texted her first

kept it casual like “hey what’s up”

she replied, but it wasn’t the same

short answers, slower replies, no energy in it

like talking to a different person

i tried to keep the conversation going but it just felt forced

so eventually it just died

after that we barely talked

no argument, no explanation, nothing clear

just a slow fade

and the weird part is i don’t even know what changed

i keep thinking if i missed something, if i said something wrong, or if she just got bored

but i’ll probably never know

what actually got to me wasn’t losing the conversation

it was realizing how much space she filled in my day without me noticing

those small messages, random jokes, little check-ins

they added up

and when they disappeared it felt…empty

i guess i just assumed it would keep going like that

without putting in the same effort

and yeah maybe that’s on me

now sometimes i still open our chat and scroll up

not even for a reason, just…habit i guess

it’s strange how someone can be part of your everyday life for a while

and then just not be there anymore

no big ending

just silence

i grew up in a pretty normal neighborhood, nothing special, just blocks of flats, small playground, same people around all the time as a kid everything felt safe, like you knew where you could go, who lived where, which places were “yours” but there was always this one guy “varen” nobody ever explained anything about him, but everyone knew like one of those unspoken rules “don’t go near that building” “don’t talk to that guy” “if you see him just walk away” and as a kid that just makes you more curious i remember seeing him sometimes near the entrance of his building or sitting on a bench not far from the playground he didn’t look scary in a movie way or anything just…off always watching people a bit too long, not really talking to anyone and the weird thing was adults never directly said “he’s dangerous” they just avoided him and told us to do the same one time me and my friend “darel” were playing near the parking lot, kicking a ball around, nothing crazy the ball rolled further than usual and ended up near that building and of course…we both just stood there looking at it neither of us wanted to go get it but also didn’t want to admit it so we kinda laughed it off and dared each other like kids do i ended up going slowly walking over, trying to act like it’s no big deal i grabbed the ball and as i turned around he was there i didn’t even see him come out just suddenly standing a few meters away and i remember that feeling so clearly like your body just freezes for a second he didn’t say anything at first just looked at me then asked something simple like “is that your ball?” normal question but it didn’t feel normal i just nodded didn’t even trust my voice he took a step closer and i swear that felt like way more than just one step then he said “you kids shouldn’t play here” not angry, not shouting just calm which somehow made it worse i just said “okay” and walked back as fast as i could without running when i got back to my friend we didn’t even talk about it properly just picked up the game somewhere else like nothing happened but after that we never went near that area again and it’s weird cuz nothing actually happened he didn’t touch me, didn’t threaten me, didn’t do anything clearly wrong but something about it just felt…wrong years later i heard from someone older that he had “problems”, maybe trouble with the police, nobody really knew for sure but it explained why everyone acted the way they did and now looking back i kinda get it it wasn’t about one specific thing it was that feeling adults had and didn’t know how to explain so they just told us to stay away and honestly i’m glad we listened cuz sometimes as a kid you don’t understand danger you just feel it a little bit and that’s enough

(all names fake)

this whole situation still feels unreal to me and the more i think about it the more annoyed i get i worked at this place for a while, nothing special just a regular job, small team, same people every day. it wasn’t perfect but it was stable, easy routine, i knew what i was doing my boss “tom” was usually alright, not super friendly but not a nightmare either, just one of those managers who cares a lot about things being done “his way” i never had any real problems with him before then one shift everything just went wrong out of nowhere there was this order that got completely messed up, like wrong items sent out, wrong address, the whole thing customer complained, obviously and for some reason tom immediately locked onto me he walks up to me in front of everyone and goes “what happened with that order?” no context, no explanation, just straight accusation i was confused cuz i didn’t even know what he was talking about at first he explains it and i tell him right away “i didn’t handle that order” and i could already see it in his face that he wasn’t really listening he goes “you were working that station yesterday right?” and yeah i was, but so were like three other people during the shift i tried explaining that, even pointed out who else was there, but he just kept repeating “well someone messed it up” like yeah…i get that, but that doesn’t mean it was me it got awkward really fast cuz everyone nearby could hear it nobody said anything but you could feel people listening i hate being put on the spot like that, especially for something i didn’t even do i stayed calm, didn’t raise my voice, just kept saying we can check logs, system, whatever proves it he just kinda brushed it off and said “we’ll look into it later” we never did rest of the shift felt weird people weren’t treating me differently exactly but there was that vibe, like doubt and once that’s there, it sticks next day one of my coworkers “liren” tells me quietly that they checked and it was actually someone else who messed it up like fully confirmed so naturally i’m thinking ok, tom will clear it up, maybe say something in front of the team, fix the situation nothing no apology, no correction, no mention at all just acts like it never happened but for me it didn’t just disappear after that he started watching me more closely checking my work more than before, pointing out small things that were never an issue stuff like “make sure you double check this” or “don’t rush that” even when i wasn’t doing anything wrong it felt like he already made up his mind about me like i was now “the one who messes things up” even though i didn’t couple days later he pulls me aside and says we need to “talk about performance” and im just standing there thinking…what performance?? he starts listing small things, nothing major, stuff everyone does occasionally but suddenly it’s all being treated like a pattern i tried to defend myself, brought up the order situation again, said it wasn’t even my mistake and it was confirmed he just says “this isn’t about one situation” but you could tell it was like that one moment flipped a switch in his head after that i already had a bad feeling then about a week later he calls me into the office no warning, just “come in for a minute” and you already know how that goes he starts talking about “not being the right fit” and “needing someone more consistent” same generic lines and i just sat there thinking how none of this was an issue before that one incident i didn’t even argue at that point what’s the point when someone already decided so yeah…that’s how i got fired over something i didn’t even do in the first place and the worst part isn’t even losing the job it’s how easily one wrong assumption turned into a whole narrative about me and nobody ever corrected it not even when they knew the truth kinda makes you realize how fast things can turn at work you can be doing fine for months and then one moment, one mistake that isn’t even yours and suddenly you’re out

idk how to even explain this properly but its been messing with my head for days now

so i’ve been with my girlfriend “elira” for about a year, nothing crazy but it felt stable you know, like we had our routine, texting every day, seeing each other few times a week, normal couple stuff

we weren’t perfect or anything but i never thought something was seriously wrong

until like a week ago

she left her phone at my place by accident

i wasn’t even planning to go through it or anything, i just picked it up to check if maybe her mom or someone called so i could let her know

and then i saw a message pop up

some guy, “kael”

at first i thought maybe just a friend, no big deal

but the preview was kinda…off

like “i miss you already”

and that just didn’t sit right with me

i know i probably shouldn’t have, but yeah i opened the chat

and it wasn’t just flirting

it was like…a whole different relationship

they were talking like we talk, same kind of jokes, same “good morning” messages, even talking about meeting up like it was normal

and the weirdest part?

some of the stuff she told him…she told me too

same phrases, same way of texting

like copy paste but with a different person

my brain kinda froze reading it

i didn’t even feel angry at first just confused

like am i reading this wrong or what

when she came back to get her phone i didn’t even know how to act

i just gave it to her and said nothing

but she could tell something was off

she asked me like 3 times “what’s wrong”

and i just asked her straight up “who’s kael”

and the way her face changed…yeah that told me everything

at first she tried to play it off like “just a friend”

but i told her i saw the messages

and then everything just kinda fell apart

she started saying it “didn’t mean anything”, that it just happened, that she didn’t want to hurt me

but how do you accidentally build a whole second relationship with someone??

that’s not one mistake that’s like a hundred small ones

what messed me up the most wasn’t even that she was talking to someone else

it’s that it felt like what we had wasn’t even unique

like i wasn’t special in her life, just…one of the options

we argued for a while, not even shouting just talking in that quiet tense way

and at some point she said “i didn’t think you’d ever find out”

and idk why but that line hit harder than everything else

not “i’m sorry”, not “i messed up”

just that

since then we haven’t really talked

she texted a few times saying she wants to fix things but i don’t even know what that means anymore

like how do you go back to normal after realizing your relationship wasn’t what you thought it was

i keep replaying everything in my head trying to figure out when it started, if there were signs i ignored

and the worst part is

everything felt real at the time

and now i don’t even know if it actually was

this is honestly so dumb but its been going on for months now and at this point i dont even know how to fix it without making it 10x worse

so i live in an apartment building, nothing fancy just normal place, and a few months ago this guy “taren” moved into the unit next to mine

at first everything was normal, like we’d see each other in the hallway or near the entrance, do that quick “hey” or nod, maybe one short convo about something random like the elevator being slow or packages getting mixed up, just basic neighbor stuff

he seemed chill, quiet but friendly enough

then one day i came home kinda tired, had headphones in, music playing, not loud but enough that im in my own world

i walk into the building, pass him in the hallway and go straight to my door

didn’t even look up properly

i unlock my door, go inside, and like 10 seconds later it hits me

“wait…did he say something?”

and then that weird feeling kicks in like yeah…he probably did

so now im standing there inside my apartment thinking if i just ignored him like a jerk

i even considered going back out and saying something like “hey sorry didnt hear you” but it already felt awkward so i just…did nothing

which was mistake number one

next day i see him again, this time in the stairwell

so im like ok this is my chance to fix it casually, nothing weird

i do that little nod like people do, maybe a quiet “hey”

and he just walks past me

no reaction, no eye contact, nothing

like i wasn’t even there

and that’s when i knew…yeah he definitely thinks i ignored him on purpose

and instead of being normal and just saying “hey sorry about yesterday”, my brain goes into full awkward mode and decides the best solution is to also pretend nothing happened

which was mistake number two

and thats how this whole stupid situation started

at first it was just a bit awkward, like we’d pass each other and neither of us would say anything

then it slowly turned into full avoidance

like if i hear his door open while im in the hallway i suddenly become VERY interested in my phone

or i’ll wait a few seconds before leaving just to avoid running into him

and im pretty sure he does the same thing

there was one time we both got to the elevator at the same time and just stood there in complete silence

no phones, no talking, just staring at the doors like our lives depended on it

longest 20 seconds of my life i swear

another time i saw him coming towards the entrance while i was inside and instead of just opening the door like a normal human i pretended i didnt see him and walked away

like why am i like this

and it’s not like he seems like a bad guy or anything

its literally just this one moment that got blown way out of proportion in both our heads

and now its been like 3 months of this

3 MONTHS

we live like 2 meters apart and act like complete strangers

honestly at this point even if i wanted to fix it, how do you even start that conversation

“hey remember 3 months ago when i accidentally ignored you?”

yeah no that sounds insane

so now we’re just stuck in this weird silent neighbor cold war for absolutely no reason

and the worst part is i feel like we both know its dumb but neither of us wants to be the one to break it

so yeah

moral of the story i guess

if you accidentally ignore someone just fix it immediately

cuz if you dont

apparently it can turn into a 3 month long awkward situation with a guy who literally lives next door 😐

ok so this is way less serious than most stuff here but its been bothering me cuz its so stupid and also kinda funny and also not funny at the same time

so we have this dog, his name is “brimlo” (dont ask my sister picked it) and hes actually super chill, like friendly with everyone, postman, random guests, even that one neighbor who looks like a villain for no reason

never had any issues with him

until my uncle showed up

my uncle “dravik” is…weird, like not bad just loud and annoying, always talking too much, laughing at his own jokes, you know the type. he visits like once every few weeks and stays too long every single time

first time brimlo met him, everything was normal for like 5 minutes

then dravik starts doing this dumb thing where he barks at the dog as a “joke”

like full on “WOOF WOOF” in his face

we told him to stop but he kept doing it cuz he thought it was hilarious

and yeah…that was mistake number one

next time he visits, he does it again but louder, and this time brimlo gets confused and starts barking back, like actually serious barking not playful

and what does my uncle do??

he laughs and keeps going

so now its basically a barking competition between a grown man and a dog

my dad tries to calm it down, my mom is yelling at my uncle to stop, im just standing there like wtf is happening

fast forward a few visits later and now brimlo has decided that dravik is his number one enemy

like its on sight

you hear the door open, brimlo runs to check, sees its him and instantly goes full alarm mode, barking like hes protecting us from a criminal

and the worst part is my uncle STILL thinks its funny

he comes in like “haha he loves me” while the dog is losing his mind two meters away

now every time hes about to visit we gotta literally plan it like some operation

we put brimlo in another room, close doors, distract him with treats, sometimes even take him for a walk before dravik arrives

and still somehow the dog KNOWS

like he senses it or something, starts acting weird before my uncle even rings the bell

last time it got so bad brimlo dragged my sister’s hoodie off the chair trying to get to the hallway, like bro turned into a security guard

and my uncle? yeah of course he tries to bark again from the other side of the door

honestly at this point i dont even blame the dog

like imagine some random guy comes to your house and starts barking in your face every time, id hate him too

we tried everything btw, telling my uncle to stop (he doesnt), giving the dog treats around him (doesnt work), ignoring it (gets worse)

so yeah now we just live like this

normal peaceful house most of the time

but the second dravik shows up its basically chaos mode

and the dog has chosen violence permanently

honestly i think its personal now
