What is your life's greatest regret?

[ he would arch his eyebrow, if he were on camera. ]

Seems like the kind of question someone might ask after dwelling on their own regrets. That's all.
You didn't really answer my question.

[d33tached]

Nor have you answered mine.

[calloused]

I'm not going to, either.

You sure you don't have anything to get off your chest, kid?

[d33tached]

I am not a child, and speaking of my own regrets was not the intention of this post. If you had no answer prepared, then why respond at all?

[ NOBODY'S OLDER THAN HIM, HE'S GRIZZLED AND SAD ]

Because - "what is your life's greatest regret" doesn't sound like a question a happy person would ask.
It worried me.

[Hey, that's probably because he's not a happy person.]

You were "worried" for me?

Had we even spoken prior to this?

[calloused]

[ hoo boy this guy is a pain in the ass??? whys he even trying ]

How old are you?

[d33tached]

That's hardly any of your business.

[Also, he doesn't know the answer.]

[calloused]

[ d33 continues to be a pain in the ass??? again, derek wonders why he's even trying. this is what he gets for trying to talk to another living person. when has that ever gone well for him ]

Okay. Well.

You've lived on this earth long enough to string a handful of words together and make a sentence outta what sticks. You understand concepts like "regret".
You should be able to understand why asking a pretty heavy question without posing any context might give someone the impression that something's wrong.

Or maybe you're just nosy? I might be giving you too much credit.

[Here it comes:]

I am simply curious to know.

[ low-key scandalized ]

That's weird?

[d33tached]

Is it?

[calloused]

It's so weird. You can't just ask that.

People don't just share their regrets. Are people sharing their regrets? Why are people just sharing their regrets?
