Due to some pretty bad social experiences in our childhood Luci is pretty cynical and very mistrustful of others. She struggles to open up about things and will often suffer in silence just to avoid asking for help or taking a break.

That’s where i come in. My main role is taking care of our body and mind. That involves recognising when we might need help or a break, etc and taking the time to slow down and do whatever it takes to make us feel better.

This can include breath exercises or finding a quiet place to take a break.


My other primary role is to feel and process emotions. Luci isn’t very good at feeling or processing emotions due to the previously mentioned bad experiences, so it’s kind of my job to deal with all of that stuff myself (which i'm fine with by the way)


I do have a third important role, but the specifics are way to disturbing for either of us to want to discuss in detail, so i’ll keep things vague and brief.

In short, Luci has always been very paranoid about the outside world. This fear became so strong that she wouldn’t leave the house without a knife with her. As you can probably imagine, this soon became an issue.

So, my role is basically to handle the result of any of those fears should they ever come true.

If you’re wondering how i feel about the fact that one of my main reasons for being is to be a living shield for someone else, i’m fine with it because it means that Luci can feel a little safer even when unarmed

Some other stuff i help with:

• Easing and managing existential dread
• Helping Luci to not worry about everything too much
• Managing our social life (more on that later)

(Note: Luci was fine with me writing this section)

Luci is the hard working one of the two of us. Since i prioritise our physical and mental comfort over all else, i can sometimes end up procrastinating or complaining about things a lot.

So she helps to keep me in check and makes sure we complete any tasks that we need to, with her mainly focusing on work and personal admin (such as checking emails and managing our calendar) and pushing me to do my household tasks when i can’t be bothered.


She is also the more rational and analytical of the two of us and is very good at quick and efficient problem solving.

For example, there was one time when i accidentally got some of a sock caught in our washing machine door, causing the water to start leaking out. I can’t truly express with words how panicked i was in that moment.

I spent about 10 minutes crying on the kitchen floor when Luci took over and was able to fix the problem by opening the washing machine door manually, so it could be closed properly.

But because i had pressed a bunch of random buttons in my panic, i had managed to turn the ‘child lock’ setting on accidentally (which temporarily stopped the washing machine from running). I didn’t know what it was at first so i thought i’d broken our washing machine and started crying and panicking again.

But Luci, being smarter than me had the sense to just google what the lock icon on our brand of washing machine meant and was able to fix the issue in less than a minute.


So, it’s probably pretty obvious from that story that i have a bad habit of blowing technical and logistical problems way out of proportion and making things worse for the both of us.

But recently, we’ve been learning to work together even more than usual to try and skip the ‘Luca has a mental breakdown over a small issue’ phase of solving our problems
