INT. THERAPIST'S OFFICE - DAY
Ghostly sits nervously in a chair, fidgeting with his hands. The therapist, Dr. Smith, sits across from him, taking notes.
DR. SMITH
So, Ghostly, what brings you here today?
GHOSTLY
(sighs) I just...I can't get it out of my head.
DR. SMITH
Get what out of your head?
GHOSTLY
The "crack shipping" on Worstgen Forums. Specifically, Rob Lucci and Vivi from One Piece.
DR. SMITH
(raises an eyebrow) I'm not sure I follow.
GHOSTLY
It's this ridiculous fan theory that Rob Lucci and Vivi are secretly in love and it's taking over my life! I can't stop thinking about it!
DR. SMITH
And why is that a problem?
GHOSTLY
Because it's ridiculous! It goes against everything we know about the characters and their relationships!
DR. SMITH
But is it really hurting anyone?
GHOSTLY
Well, no, but-
DR. SMITH
Then what's the harm in enjoying a silly fan theory?
GHOSTLY
(pause) I guess you're right. But it's just so bizarre.
DR. SMITH
(laughs) Welcome to the world of fandom, Ghostly. Sometimes we just have to embrace the weirdness.
GHOSTLY
(smiling) Thanks, Dr. Smith. I feel a lot better.
DR. SMITH
Of course. And if you ever need to talk about any other fandom-related issues, you know where to find me.
GHOSTLY
(nods) I might take you up on that.
As Ghostly stands to leave, the camera pans to a framed picture of Dr. Smith on her desk - dressed as Rob Lucci and holding a Vivi plushie.
FADE TO BLACK.
