He's just kicking his feet like "it's okay shit happens"

Yess!! I wanted it to be very meme-y because Edjalh is so unserious in the first chapters 😭😭 And don't get me wrong he won't be more serious later but it just feels very on brand to smile and be playful when in actuality he killed like 8 people while escaping an enemy territory 😭

Literally! It's a good thing he's such a people pleaser so he has no choice but to keep taking it one day at a time 😂 And dw, he will find the spark a bit later but it's there!

And it just keeps going 😂

"Now we moved in together so he's be the one to find me, fuck"
"Would be a bummer to die before graduating tbh"
"Yikes they offered me a contract with the city theater, um..."
Etc.

Rivenn really is the lighthouse guiding him out when he gets lost in the dark parts of his thoughts 🥹 He has always been that one person Ty likes to focus on when everything is reeling around him and nothing makes sense ❤️‍🩹

Happy to provide the heartbreak! It's what I do best with my characters >:3

No but for real: it's going to take more than a year, but eventually... Ty is currently too actively thinking about his own mortality and feels insecure about things staying good to actually heal anything. But in time 🥹❤️‍🩹

I mean Rivenn can go and read Tyson's diary at some point if he so wishes. No guarantees Ty will be loving that or how he'll react but it's an option. Ty will take that info to his grave, no way he's telling that.

Yup! My other languages sound like my finnish customer service voice 😂 Which is very airy and higher than my normal speaking voice

That's why their anniversary has a grim tone in it for Ty, who hasn't yet even told Rivenn everything that happened 🥲

Tyson wasn't doing great at that time and he honestly barely made it. He thought that asking Rivenn out would be the last nail in the coffin, needless to say he did not expect to be celebrating an anniversary in a year 🫣😶‍🌫️

They did laugh at the pictures and when I said "so Cynthia basically is a jesus" My mission was succesfull!

They are worried about the grade, asking when i will grade their papers and if they can see the graded paper, how much this is going to affect the final grade etc. It's so sweet to me in a way

Yup good morning; IDENTITY
