You didn't mention it ever again, yeah. And a bunch of people were acting weird that day, so I figured that was it.

[ well. people are always acting weird. it's a matter of they act weird consistently that you start getting kind of concerned. ]

Was it the part about comfort?

[ … ]

You're comfortable around the Doctor.

[oversea]

Like I said, I was... trying to figure things out. And then people started acting strangely so it didn't seem like the time. [ ... ] Most people are comfortable around the Doctor.

[ they make that very easy, which is a good trait considering their job. ]

Do you think I could fall in love with them?

[transmit]

[ he looks to the side… ]

You'd have a lot of competition. [ yes. ] But you could probably win them over.

[oversea]

[ ...

he forgets about being self-conscious of their other selves and leans in to kiss elysium's cheek. ]

I only want you.

[transmit]

[ imagine this is where they look over… this would make the vibe of the other thread so different.

…

maybe they should? elysium, at least, wouldn't notice from how much the kiss distracts him. ]

You probably could've, though. You're only saying that now because we're together.

[oversea]

No one but you has made me even slightly interested.

[ maybe if different people were in purgatory or if he got to know others in a different way this may be a different story. but that's not the reality they're living in, so thorns can only go by the fact he didn't like anyone else here even slightly romantically. ]

[transmit]

[ …

his heart explodes. it's his turn to kiss thorns, but on the forehead this time. ]

[oversea]

[ he is so soft. thorns lens against him, as they once again prolong this. ]

Don't ever worry about that, alright?

[transmit]

[ it always goes back to their inability to go from point a to b like normal people… ]

It's your responsibility to keep reminding me.

[ he holds their hands up to thorns' eye level. ]

We might as well just announce ourselves like this, yeah?

[ becomes ghost out of sheer embarrassment i guess ]

[oversea]

Are you su––

[ he looks back up. ]

Where did they go?

[ they are... chasing after nene. ]

[transmit]

Don't you feel like we should just leave them with each other? Look how well they get along…

[ reflecting upon how they really made everyone else voyeur to this. hm ]

[oversea]

[ this is a little embarrassing to watch.... ]

Well. I would hope that they do.

[transmit]

[ from a third party perspective it just looks like they're frolicking with nene. nene probably thinks they're all just frolicking together, honestly.

elysium will be first to look away despite them being the ones holding hands and kissing. this feels worse somehow? why are they so stupid? ]

[oversea]

[ they probably only have until they capture nene... ]

Did you say goodbye to everyone else?

[transmit]

… To the ones that probably would've been upset if I didn't, yeah.

[ HIS TEENS…

the adults are whatever. sorry. ]

You?

[oversea]

No.

[ he is just leaving. ]

[transmit]

Not even to Rafayel or Sylus?

[ his literal lads ]

[oversea]

They could find me to say bye if they really wanted to.

[ it can be a two way street... thorns is simply not crossing it. ]

[transmit]

[ his grip will suddenly tighten to an almost painful degree. ]

You have to say bye to Reirin.

[oversea]

[ he should have never asked. ]

... If I can find her.

[transmit]

[ WHAT DOES HE HAVE AGAINST REIRIN??? ]

Not a problem! I'll find her.

[oversea]

[ he likes her, he was just ready to dip... ]

Now?

[transmit]

[ he would do this after she'd so graciously held his hand…? ]

When else are you going to have the opportunity to say bye?

[oversea]

[ thorns does not think he'll ever see these people again. ]

I don't think we have time to say it to everyone, Elyisum.

[transmit]

I only expect you to say it to her. Where did everyone come from?

[ he plays favourites so bad sorry to everyone else ]
