Convinced the door to open through sheer mutual spite.

Convinced the door you were royalty. It believed you.

Gave the handle a voice. The door let it turn.

The door and its handle finally talked. They reconciled.

Told the handle to turn without the door's consent. Something broke.

It chose to become a wall.

Convinced the door it was a fish. It felt damp. It accepted this.

It wanted more light

It had considered.

It turned back on you.

Convinced the door it was your mother. She grounded you.

Mixed your signals. The door saw through it.

Close it gently.

The door asked for a minute. You waited. It noticed.

Should have tried acknowledging it

You were not different

Dismissed the door's fear as not worth addressing.

The door was not convinced

The fish had been keeping the door shut. It just needed the room quiet for a while.

Dad said you could go?

You proved yourself as a future pro player.

He have absolute faith in you.

She took four of the six dining chairs. He is fine. He says he is fine.

Your dad compared you to cousin Marcus. It wasn't a criticism. It was a criticism.

You did it all. Congratulations.
