Where the smile came from.
Cope was created at the exact bottom of a candle, by somebody who had just said the words 'it's only a paper loss' out loud to an empty room.
The smile came first. The tears arrived about a second later and have not stopped. The thumb went up on its own and nobody has been able to bring it down. Cope has been photographed in this position ever since, at every dip, on every timeline, in every group chat where somebody has typed 'we're so back'.
Cope is not fine. Cope is also, in every way that counts, completely fine. Both are true, and that is the whole coin.
