Screenshot reading "He was a boy, she was a girl, I am a sentient octopus. He was a punk, she did ballet, I have eight prehensile legs. He wanted her, she'd never tell, I crept up from the bowels of Hell. All of her friends, and those to as well, will fall when the seas start to swell. He was a skater boy, she said she you later boy, neither significant to me. I'm a cephalopod, a miniature elder god, and soon all my brethren will be free."
