So parasites? They couldn't be symbiotes and give us some superpower, like the wisdom of an ancient species who mastered FTL space travel. Oh, no. We just get parasites that feed on our face. Great. That's just great.

Your face mites don't reveal the secrets of the universe to you?

At least they love me and need me and appreciate what I have to offer.

What if they are symbiotic, but we accidentally evolved past them and can no longer hear their wisdom? How embarrassing!

Idk about you, but I've felt weirdly out of step with my colony of face creatures, for like. A while now.
