AND THEN I OPENED THE FIRST CHAT AND SAW LIKE TWO LONG MESSAGES AND I WAS LIKE WAHT THE FUCK IS THIS BRO AND I SCROLLED TO THE TOP AND SAW A FANFIC REQUEST AND THEN IT HIT ME... BUT THEN I KEPT READING ON AND SO THIS CHAT STARTED LIKE EARLY 2022 WHEN I WAS A LOSER DISCORD MOD AND THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I MESSAGED THEM BUT THEN I KEPT READING AND THEYVE CONTINOUSLY KEPT MESSAGING ME THROUGH THE YEARS... KEEP IN MIND IVE ONLY HAD LIKE ONE OR TWO INTERACTIONS WITH THIS PERSON AND THEY KEPT MESSAGING ME FOR TWO YEARS.
