“ugh today at school i had to” he almost barfs in own mouth “read… sorry lol i just really don’t like reading! wait… you dislike it just as much as i? wow! we’re so alike in that regard! do you wanna go and not read together?”
suddenly, an otherworldly, booming voice fills their minds. they scream in agony as it says “now, boys, don’t you know reading is fun? it’s good for your mind as well!”
but it was too late. their minds had already been melted by the old god’s great voice.
