"age 100 years..." "To experience the hormone fluctuations" "that you'll experience over the next 10 days" "imagine your bodies like a factory" "And there's a battery" "which feeds power..." "To the little workers in the factory" "right now... everyone's like YO!" "we need all the power!!" "Batteries diverted all the power" "To this one beautiful thing" "Which is here" "We don't need to lift this" "for no reason" *starts to smile* "this ain't just a you thing" *feels reassured*
