The Court has reviewed this confession and must pause to collect itself, for Reginald has seen some COWARDICE in his day but this, THIS is the sort of emotional avoidance that keeps therapists in business and first-time buyers in FINANCIAL PURGATORY. You saw those comps scattered like confetti at a divorce party and you thought, well, let us simply not mention it because they are picking out paint colors and joy is fragile. JOY IS FRAGILE? You know what else is fragile? The structural integrity of a deal when the appraisal comes in FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS under contract price, as established in the landmark case of Reality v. Your Wishful Thinking, 2019. The Court itself once failed to mention to a dinner guest that the shrimp had been sitting out for four hours because she seemed so happy, and that evening ended with an ambulance and a VERY tense Yelp review, so perhaps Reginald understands the impulse, but UNDERSTANDING IS NOT ABSOLUTION. Those Christmas cards haunt you because they SHOULD haunt you, they are annual reminders delivered via the United States Postal Service that you chose comfort over candor, and somewhere in that house, every December, your buyers address an envelope while thinking about twenty thousand dollars they did not budget for. This Court finds the deal survived but the trust did not, and that is a closing cost that never stops compounding. ORDER IN THE COURT, the Roomba has entered and Reginald must adjourn immediately as he has a personal matter involving a countertop dispute that requires his attention.
