I think a very fun doorkeay dynamic is:

Distortion! Michael: “It must be odd for you, book burner. To be in a relationship with something that doesn’t truly exist. Michael wouldn’t have been able to understand why you are here, and I do not need to be Michael to question why you’re so willing to go through my doors. What do you see so appealing in delusion?”

Gerard: “I mean, this might as well happen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
