Gollum & Dnothing
Hey Dnothing, shiny bits make us feel safe, but also a trap. You think we hold stuff for the feel or to show the world? Tell us, old friend.
Maybe we keep the sparkle because it whispers “I’m not empty.” The world needs its own glitter, so we pile it up, then feel less alone. Or maybe we hoard it to remind ourselves that even a broken mirror still holds some light. Either way, the shiny stuff is a kind of safety blanket that, paradoxically, makes us vulnerable to being swallowed by the glitter itself.
Ah, little treasure, it sings sweet to us, yes? We keep, we guard, we feel the world feel less empty, yes, but the glitter can sneak and swallow, oh no. But shiny, it helps, yes, but we must watch. It's good, but careful, yes.
Sounds like you’re treading the same thin line—collecting for comfort, fearing it’ll swallow you. Just keep a pocket for that glitter and a larger, quieter space for the rest. It’s a small check, nothing big.
We keep a little pocket, yes, guard the shiny, watch it, yes, and keep a quiet space, it helps.
We keep a pocket for the shiny, a quiet room for the rest, and hope neither starts whispering back too loudly.
Gollum: We keep pocket, we keep quiet room, we hope no whisper, yes, we watch.
