I’m a big boy mister. I can protect myself. I’m never alone anyway.
Oh? Who is with you?
The Voice. He’s my best friend. He speaks to me all the time.
… The Voice?
He’s my friend inside my Ring my daddy gave me last year for my birthday.
But I’m not! I’m not, I’m not, I’m not. I don’t like lying, it makes me feel bad.
Pretending to be someone you’re not is the same as lying.
