        ‘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.
