The family cat's dead. The rest of the family is quite upset. Some of them are even crying. I'm not. Never liked him. He was very quiet the last few days and it's the most endearing he's ever been. Thinking back on how I felt about him when he was alive I can't claim to feel that much different about my sister really. Wonder whether I'll care if she dies.

Need to get out of my own head. Need to be the thing that doesn't care somewhere away from them so I can turn around and lie to...

Parents continue their persistent nagging for me to get a job.

Your sister's got a job and she's younger than you! Don't you have any pride? We believe in you.

Paraphrased.

My sister needs the money, I don't. Besides a few weeks ago they were bad-mouthing her lack of effort in finding a job to me. After destroying one perception of her they can't hold her up as an example of virtue in their defence. It's unconvincing if they only use those concepts...
