Chapter 1: An Awkward Introduction

Well, hello there! I was actually hoping you'd notice me sooner.

"Where did you come from?" you ask in disbelief.

Honestly, I’m just as puzzled as you are! But now that you’ve spotted me, we have a bit of a situation on our hands. Just a heads up, I’ve only been around for a couple of days, so bear with me!

Oh, I see you're going for a squeeze. Trust me, that’s not the best idea.

Oof! I warned you that wouldn’t help. Yikes, now you look flushed! Maybe take a moment to sit down?

Let’s be real; I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. No matter how many angles you try, you won’t be able to dislodge me.

It’s not your fault; it’s just my unfortunate placement. But hey, I think I’ve chosen a rather prime spot for myself!

You can always count on me to be your little secret. How about we get to know each other better?

"Oh, I feel so gross," you lament. Well, imagine spending five days in my position, accumulating all this delightful pus!

Yes, I’m sore, thanks for showing concern. But perhaps if you stopped poking at me, I might calm down.

What are you rummaging for now? That sharp object looks risky.
