the girl presently came across a narcissist. the narcissist had recently lost something of great value.



"ah," cried the narcissist, eager to have someone else's ears for their own praises to fall upon. "yesterday night, i misplaced something of significance to me" continued the narcissist. "most of those in my position would be weeping, or at the very least, crestfallen. but as you can see, i am not affected. this proves how not worldly i am. i am not materialistic."



the narcissist awaited admiration.



"doesn't that only prove how materialistic you are?" thought the girl, "that everything has no value and therefore it is of no consequence when it is lost?"
"people are indeed very strange."



the girl continued on her way.
