If this was a movie, we would've sat down at the table with the guys and they would have learned some kind of valuable lesson, like not to judge people by how they look, or that being different is okay.

Dude, get out of my head.โ He backed away from me and into the bookshelf. โI can't read your mind, you idiot.
