If I want tea, I can make my own. Otherwise, I have never had those things, and I have never particularly needed them to carry on with my day.

I'll be one short tomorrow, so.

It is... bothersome, the holes people leave in you when they're gone. It's why I never wanted friends. But perhaps you are better for it.
no subject
I'd rather have it this way. I've had so much good, I've had moments I wouldn't ever trade. It's living, yeah? That's what living is.
