Made sense. I wouldn’t want me in charge either. Not that I’m lazy or dumb, it’s just that I have a hard time caring about others. And when it comes to non-humans, I’m even worse.

“Are we good?” my sister asked.

But I was up for the challenge.
Sadly, Fishsticks was not.
“Wait, what happened?” my sister asked upon her return.
