I could now see that this interaction hadn’t gone the way either of us had intended. To me, this whole episode was reminiscent of those pathetic pep rallies back in high school, where the teachers attempted to make students excited about an upcoming sports game through mandatory cheers and skits. The craziest thing to me was how it always seemed to work on the others. I always assumed there was something wrong with me. Probably the same reason why I wasn’t getting that Shia Labeouf moment that Arnold did after becoming part of the Dark God’s great plan.
