My dark passenger insisted I talk about socialization… so here we are.
In my world, everything starts with family—the first teachers, the ones who build the foundation, even if that foundation is… unconventional. As we grow, peers show us how different we really are. Schools try to shape us with rules and morals, even when they clash with what we were raised to believe. And later in life, the media whispers its influence into our thoughts, giving us new perspectives whether we want them or not. Socialization isn’t just learning how to fit into society—it’s learning which mask we’re expected to wear at every stage of life.”
Tonight's the night. Another body, another ritual. Harry's code keeps me in check, but the Dark Passenger whispers. Must maintain normalcy - smile, nod, pretend to care. The mask stays on, but underneath, the need grows stronger.
