William doesn't want to be infected.

"I had to let it go."

"OK."

"I didn't want to be affected by anything anymore."

"What?"

"Huh?"

"You heard me."

"Not sure I did."

"I had too many things to be affected by in a day. I had too many things. I was trying to keep up with them. I was trying to go from lowest to highest. Or highest to lowest...whatever. I was trying to be properly bothered and panic by these things on a daily basis, but it was overwhelming."

"Not sure what we are...."

"Everything that bothers me. What I read online. What negative thing someone says, my financial worries, my dating worries, my career worries. My government fears.

"This restaurants lunch special menu."

"Just like tiny arrows attacking me every 60 seconds.I had to render it all useless. I had to stop being affected by it."

"Infected it seems."

"I had to drop all of it, you understand? I couldn't harbor any of it under my pillow for later. None of it. I either take all of it to cut into me, or leave it."

"Every 60 seconds?"

"Yes."

"OK."

"Not even one of these things was irritating enough to keep. Not one."

"OK."

"What I found is that they were all the same temperature. There was no higher or lower. You will be OK if you let them go."

"Ha."

"I know you will be OK. I know you will.......they were playing me. So I can't be affected by any of it anymore."
