You don’t even know me.
2. So they will suggest that you bleach your skin.
“Listen, you probably mean well but I don’t want to end up looking like a three day old corpse. So no, thanks.”
3. They will ignore everything you’re saying and start suggesting bleaching creams you can use.

If someone calls you “Nightwalker”, you have every right to punch him/her in the throat. They deserve it.
