Description
(I Know It Is A Bit Lengthy But Please Read The Below Author's Note)

A.N./ So guys, do you like, remember that chapter a little while back- chapter seven I wanna say- where we got that cute little look into Dave's innermost thoughts, well, here we get a little peak into (y/n)'s illusive little mind; though this chapter has no place setting in particular, I would say it is rather important as far as getting a feel for how reader-chan sees things (since you know, not all of us can be blessed with (y/n)'s fabulously perky personality in this particularly unconventional reader insert.)

Also, as you'll find by reading this chapter, the reader in this reader insert is a very logical person, she hopes to avoid emotional confrontation by logically piecing every bit of information she has together in a way that I can only describe as a sort of conditional statement (you know, like in Geometry, if p then q- only minus the if for example: I like web comics, Homestuck is a web comic [therefor] I like Homestuck) Though it is a bit confusing she does this as an attempt to control what she believes in order to put her emotional insecurities at ease.

I'M SORRY FOR THIS BEING SO LONG BUT JUST ONE MORE THING: every once in a while there will be a chapter formatted like this simply because it shows how the reader's thought process and beliefs change over time - THAT IS ALL!

[Sorry for le interruption, plz proceed~]

Dave Strider is a very frustrating man.

You don't understand how he manages to put up with you.
You don't understand what he sees in you.
You don't understand why he wants to hang around you.
You don't understand why he wants to help you.
You simply don’t understand the enigma that is Dave Strider.

You don't like that feeling of not understanding.
It puts an uneasiness in your stomach and paranoia in your mind.
Things that you do not understand scare you.
Dave Strider scares you.

You can't quite put your finger on what in particular about the man you find so unnerving. Though the most unnerving thing you've found so far is those god forsaken sunglasses of his.

You've always hated guys that wear sunglasses.

You pride yourself on being able to read people like a book.
All you need to do is look them in the eye and you know exactly what it is that they are feeling at that precise point in time, with a simple peek all their secrets are secrets no more, all that you do not understand is understood - all that you fear is gone.

Dave Strider has no eyes.
Dave Strider cannot be read.
Dave Strider cannot be understood.
Dave Strider is something to be feared.

Dave Strider has no eyes.
He only has his sunglasses, dark and unexpressive.
Whirlpools of darkness which threaten to envelope and drown you at every turn.
Pitch as the night is black they are an empty expanse of nothingness.
Smooth and reflective they display to you only your own eyes.
Your own eyes; sad and lonely.

They say that eyes are the windows to the soul.
Dave Strider has no eyes.
Therefor Dave Strider has no soul.
Dave Strider has no soul.
Therefor Dave Strider is not human.

You hate humans.

They lie, they cheat, they betray, they plot, they steal, they fake, they harm, they destroy.

Dave Strider is not human.
Therefore, you
do not
hate
him
?

They say that eyes are the windows to the soul.
Dave Strider hides his eyes.
Therefor Dave Strider hides his soul.
Dave Strider has a soul, hidden as it may be.
Therefore Dave Strider is a human.
You hate humans.
Therefor you hate Dave Strider.
