Face Him

"You HAVE TO show him around. We already agreed on this weeks ago."

"But I really don't want to anymore. There's something about him that just makes me... makes me sort of just stop."

"Stop?"

"Yeah, stop whatever I'm doing. Like I'm afraid to go on."

"He needs a friend. He's not dangerous. You've met him several times before. I honestly don't know where this is coming from!"

"I'm just done with him, I think. I'm tired of always having to face him."

"Just last week you were ready to make friends with him! What's happened?"

"It's hard to explain... It's just... It's just what he does to me. And I've got so much more at stake now."

"What do you mean?"

"I've got this big project coming up and I don't need him to ruin it or stop me."

"Has he done it before?"

"Yeah..."

"Did you talk to him about it?"

"No, I just kind of laid low for a while. Avoided him. He always comes around when I'm doing something I actually care about."

"Hm..."

"Yeah... Can't you show him around?"

"You know very well I can't do that. You signed up for this. You're gonna have to face him soon. It's awkward to make him wait outside the door like this for so long."

"I really don't want to. I'm afraid he'll make me mess up again or not go through with it."

"You say he keeps coming around when you have big projects on?"

"Yes."

"So he seems to be an inevitable part of you doing anything, right?"

"Seems so, yes."

"Then I see no other solution, than you having to face Fear and make friends with him and that'll be the end of the discussion."
