"oh yeah and John basically-"
"John as in the author?"
"No, sorry- I mean, John the character."
"You should use his full name, so it's less confusing"
"His full name is Johnathan Sims."
"So it is the author?"
"No, they just share a name. Can I continue?"
"Okay, okay. Just- call him John then."
"Yeah okay and so my next point is about Michael-"
"Haven't you already talked about Michael?"
"No, that was Michael Crew."
"Who's this?"
"Michael Shelley. Well- actually I'm talking about the Distortion, but when it was Michael."
"So.... Michael Distortion is Michael Shelley? Is "Distortion" like his job title?"
"Well, no. He's not Michael, he's just like- using Michael's... *waves hands around* essence."
"I'm confused. What's your next point?"
"Yeah okay so my next argument is about the characterisation and character arc of the Admiral."
"Oh is he like, a war veteran or something?"
**😶😶😶**
"What?"
"he's a cat."
