And here comes these happy golden goofy fuckers with their happy days and rainbows and sunshine and it just spoils the whole no-good-rotten day. The pain eels probably feel bad, knowing that the world isn't shit, and start to actually "get over it".
Or as much as a memory and feeling given form can get over anything.
