William Wei

The main character of the story is William Wei, which Koko mentions when she starts to talk to him randomly. The short story is fiction, it makes it seem like it is not real because if it was real a stranger wouldn’t have a long conversation with someone, from my perspective I would think it's weird. Someone that calls me, wanting to know me, also the fact that William went all the way to where she lived, 5 hours away, that’s pretty far to go for someone you haven’t met in person. Well they did saw each other at a party but never had a conversation face to face only after he went over. When I first read the story, I didn’t know it was going to be about drugs. After Koko mentions in her apartment about Percocet, she seems to like those, since she drinks various pills the same day. Percocet makes you want to be slow, it relaxes you, but what I was confused about was if she bought it because she needs it, or she bought it just because she wants to take them. Koko did not sound normal, she was very different from William, William had different perspective, he seemed that he wanted to be intimate with Koko but then he learned she didn’t want that. Also at the end, another type of drug that they took was mushrooms, and then Koko freaked out. It seems like she only wanted to experience what she likes doing for fun with William, and William misunderstood what she wanted from him, maybe company since she was alone and some of what she told him was not true who knows.
