You want me to lie about other people now? Everything I said was true. He's my best friend who has always gone out of his way for me, even if it's something as mundane as standing in line for an autograph.

[ IT'S HIM!!! ]

I don't know about you being jealous exactly, but I did expect you to hold on a little tighter.

[ he drags their hands up. look who's holding on more tightly? it's elysium. angy. ]

[oversea]

[ he huffs, looking away. ]

I'm the one who even started holding your hand... you just grabbed onto my pinky.

[ the least secure way to hold onto someone. ]

[transmit]

[ he was testing you… ]

You were so ready to give me up…… "Are you excited to go?" Wow.

[oversea]

I wanted to see how you'd answer.

[ is elysium the only one allowed to ask leading questions... where is #equality? ]

[transmit]

[ nowhere, just like how he's the only one allowed to die first always ]

Then I'll answer you now. I'm ready to go back with Thorns.

[oversea]

[ annoying... this is what their two months here has brought them to? bullying? ]

You should kiss the Thorns.

[transmit]

You were just saying how you wouldn't give me advice on how to woo him. Is this a change of heart? Woah—! Thanks.

[ starts

heading back to thorns, while holding onto thorns, ]

[oversea]

[ HE JUST

YANKS HIM BACK ]

[transmit]

[ does the thing where he stumbles a little before catching himself.

hehehe… ]

Yes?

[oversea]

[ he's just... looking at him expectantly...

not saying anything... ]

[transmit]

[




kisses the thorns. ]

Should I do it like that?

[ still emanating the cheekiest energy known to man. ]

[oversea]

[ he still will throttle him... ]

Hm, I don't know.

[transmit]

[ OKAY.

he leans in again and presses a kiss with more purpose. ]

Still?

[oversea]

I think you need to do it again so I'll know for sure.

[ this is why he wanted to go inside. ]

[transmit]

We could've given the other you ideas…

[ kisses him again, and again, and again. ]

I think if he saw how happy you were it might work. Make him into a voyeur? Hehe.

[oversea]

What are you trying to do to him?

[ stop giving other thorns kinks, that's a pure baby. ]

[transmit]

[ we just need a third brothel arc to fix this ]

I'm going to have such an uphill battle… you really aren't going to help me?

[oversea]

Why would I help you cheat on me...?

[ thorns also isn't into being cucked... ]

[transmit]

[ oh…

soft. ]

It's you…

[ finally says the brackets out loud. ]

We should still prepare ourselves for any situation, don't you think? We both had a lot of help here.

[ dana said we're also allowed a memory catch-up situation and that it'd be flexible, but even then

i just think it'd be funny if thorns had to eat shit after this ]

[oversea]

[ ...

he leans in to smooch him again. hi. ]

We should. We can hope for the best, but...

[transmit]

But?

[ he touches their foreheads. hi. ]

… I'd want you to be happy, even if it's with another version of me. And if the mazekeepers aren't full of finshit, I know you'll be.

[oversea]

[ it does get into weird territory, since so much regarding thorns realizing his feelings had to do specifically with their stay in purgatory. it is technically the same person you love, but just... not quite there. ]

You have a lot of confidence in my chances.

[transmit]

Well. I guess going with someone else is always an option, too.

[ if it's too awkward… it's not like he doesn't understand. a thorns that is his thorns but isn't. could he still be in a relationship with him?

it's hard to say. but, regardless of what happens, he thinks he would want to be with him, whatever form that might take. ]

Operator Surtr?

[oversea]

[ not the surtr agenda again.

he just huffs out a laugh. ]

I've never been interested in anyone but you.

[transmit]

[ WHAT OTHER AGENDA IS THERE? DID YOU WANT HIM TO SAY JUANA?

he doesn't even know who aulus is to go with the most cursed option, nor would he, for the same reason why he wouldn't bring up anastasio… ]

If you open your heart, you could be.

[ he wonders if he should regret not choosing the diamond. but no, thorns' happiness is infinitely more important than keeping them tethered together. ]
