[that's fair, nimona is a bit too. fckin panels.]

I don't know, actually? I like strawberries, so... maybe those, or like, peaches I guess. You?

[squelching]

[hecking panels!! she keeps wondering if she should. bring what she saw up. but at the same time, she doesn't want to upset her again? dear addy, how do i broach the subject of my bestie's relatable trauma... (i'll yeet a mem at you soon when i'm not mobile running out of work.)]

Um... I think I'll order whatever you get. I don't really know what's good in a crepe.

[sharkgirl]

[eh she'd talk about it to saya, but. talk about relatable trauma. anyway we're ignoring that a man died because i still want memshare and this thread is before that.]

I've never actually had one, so I guess we'll figure it out. [gib memshare as they walk to the store]

[squelching]

[we are living in happier times when the only thing to be sad about was memshare and curses.]

The task said we just have to buy them, right? So it's probably okay if we end up not liking them.

[anyway!! as they approach the store... it is memshare time.]

[sharkgirl]

[THIS IS ALSO SAD AAAAA

she's nodding, about to answer, except. she pauses, and then:]

Oh. [...] Saya...

[this kind of just. makes her really upset. because same hat, in people just deciding you aren't worth it. because you aren't worth losing out on something else. she holds saya's hand a little more tightly.]

Are you gonna be super mad if I say fuck that guy?

[squelching]

[...

she squeezes nimona's hand, staring at the spot where the last panel was for a moment longer before she slowly breathes in. breathes out.]

A little.

[quietly. unfortunately... sometimes people suck and you still care about them, anyway. but then she offers her a smile, somewhat sad but mostly fond fond.]

But it's okay, because I know you're mad at him because you care about me, too.

[sharkgirl]

[that's fair. she kind of feels that way about ballister sometimes, so.]

You deserve better.

[squelching]

[...

she tugs her a little closer, so she can pull her into a hug.]

You deserve better, too, you know.

[sharkgirl]

[it takes her a second to figure out how to reply, but.]

... I think I do too. [she's starting to believe it by being here, with people who care about her.]

[squelching]

You do.

[she's repeating herself, but something like this is worth repeating. she holds her for a second longer, before she starts to pull away.]

I'm sorry they didn't appreciate you. It's their loss.
