>>7318Nor will I bow down to your demand to provide supporting evidence for my narrative choices! I chose the theme of guilt because I felt guilty and wanted to explore that feeling. Period. And stop putting inverted commas around key terms, it looks childish.
>>7320An excellent character study! You've obviously given my symbolism a lot of thought! But a quick check on /lit/, and indeed, I am not famous.
>>7317If you were here physically, I'd call you smug, is all. Since you're not, I'm calling you smug anyway. Jeez. It's pretty standard technique: your reader is told that "unusual symbols" appear within the text itself! Yeeeah, since that works for tons of novels and poems. But I've got something special, I know it, so you'll ignore everything I say until I walk the plank. What's so unusual about it is that it represents multiple layers of meaning, and master and I shared notes on it constantly, knowing we'd later be torn apart forever! Not that you'd know anything about that experience.
>>7321They're not assassinations! Nor is this a friendly gathering! It's a meeting between people with similar problems and obsessive personalities. If you weren't here, I'm sure I'd hear all sorts of baseless accusations about my relationship with master, and vice versa.
