It's still kind of a depressing metaphor?
If they don't stay together then they'll never see what their puzzle was supposed to be.
Sure, they can look at the box and kind of know, but it's not the same as spending the time and putting it together...together.
They just, you know
Leave it a mess.
They probably didn't even bother putting it back in the box.

[... oh... did he do that thing where he said something and it accidentally shattered the shell of the cadbury egg of emotions, making everything spill out in a sticky unfortunate mess?

he thinks he just did that again.]

All puzzles are solved eventually. Sometimes they're mounted on walls in a frame.

[singloversing]

Or they get bored and and decide the puzzle's too hard and throw the old one away so they can just get a new one.

[A pause though, as he considers it.]

Do people actually like, do that?
I've heard that people glue puzzles together but I don't know anyone who actually has.
...I'm not being metaphorical anymore; I've just never met anyone who bothered gluing their puzzles and framing them.

[mviw]

Parents got divorced, huh? I apologize. I didn't mean to bring it up.

I've seen some really interesting things done to puzzles throughout the multiverse though. You should see the mazes a species of giant rat likes to solve and then brag about.

[singloversing]

It's okay. You didn't know.
I was the one who got weird about it.

That sounds...kind of terrifying, actually?

[GIANT RATS SOUND TERRIBLE, DR. PINES.]

[mviw]

They're a really nice people!

Except for the giant plague they carry. That isn't nice at ALL.

Don't sweat it, by the way. You didn't get weird.

[singloversing]

None of that is really convincing, Dr. Pines.
But, uh. I'm glad they're nice I guess?

I waxed poetically about puzzles. I'm pretty sure that counts as super weird.

[mviw]

You're a teenager. Waxing poetic about puzzles is one of the most normal things you could do. Trust me.

That time of life is full of confusing feelings and questionable decisions. It's all par for the course.

[singloversing]

I dunno.
It always feels like everyone else does a better job at figuring all of that out?
Everyone else has it all together and I'm just a mess like, one hundred percent of the time forever.

[mviw]

What you're describing is exactly how I remember my teenage years, with the exception of my academic success.

I tried to use a pickup line on a girl I really liked during our junior prom. She threw her punch on me and walked away.

[singloversing]

Oh. Wow, that's...I'm sorry?

I
I made this super embarrassing mixtape for this girl I like and then I got all the way there and decided I couldn't put her through my terrible poetry and clarinet.
But my brother took it and gave it to her anyway!
It's a total disaster and my romantic life is over forever
I don't think there's any coming back from that like ever.
