HOT CHOCOLATE: But... someone. (sigh)

Vicarious Anxiety

HOT CHOCOLATE: But I worry about having them.

HOT CHOCOLATE: And that scares me.

Nothing Big

Possibilities

HOT CHOCOLATE: I like to think through all the possibilities before I do anything.

HOT CHOCOLATE: It takes a lot of time and a lot of effort. But in the end, it's important.

HOT CHOCOLATE: Because it keeps me from doing anything.

HOT CHOCOLATE: And that's my real goal.

Waves

THE OCEAN: I'm having a BIG PARTY, wanna come!?
HOT CHOCOLATE: U-um, well...

THE OCEAN: C'MON!! It'll be FUN!! EVERYONE will be there!!
HOT CHOCOLATE: I-I- (gurgle) OK! OK!

THE OCEAN: GREAT!! It's also a costume PARTY.
HOT CHOCOLATE: What!? (blurble) N-no@
THE OCEAN: Ooo, and can you give a TOAST!?!

Dark

HOT CHOCOLATE: It's so dark these days.

HOT CHOCOLATE: I get so much more anxious when there's less sun.

THE SUN: OK, look, some of that's on me, sure.

THE SUN: But the guy's not exactly a barrel of laughs in June either.
