Inspector Ursula’s Real Aim

February 24, 2024 by Pyra Draculea

One More Time, with Feeling!

February 12, 2024February 12, 2024 by Pyra Draculea
Noah continues to pester Ruth to like her least favorite U2 songs.

At this point these two aren’t even arguing about the songs anymore, it’s about stupid primate dominance games.

Pride in the Name of Ruth

February 12, 2024February 10, 2024 by Pyra Draculea
If Ruth doesn't like the biggest U2 songs, she's just not trying hard enough.

Et Tu, Ruth?

February 8, 2024February 7, 2024 by Pyra Draculea
