          ‘Please explain.’

          ‘I’d rather drown.’

          ‘Go on.’

              No. I used a framing device to say there’s things I super don’t want to explain. You misinterpreted that to mean I’d love to explain them.

                  It’s a direct response to your insistence “it’s just words,” and what it means is, “I don’t want to say those words.”

                  It’s one fucking sentence, dude. It’s not even a garden-path sentence. It goes ‘I could, but I don’t wanna.’ You can stop hassling me as if I’ve reneged on a promise to do a thing, when the entire premise was, I do not want to do that thing.
