SO SORRY THAT THIS IS LONG I JUST WANTED TO RAMBLE ABOUT AVENWELT TO YOU BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN ON MY MIND... i've been thinking a lot recently about what it'd take for them to be in a. like. normal relationship. because i feel like that's nigh impossible for them lol that deep commitment doesn't seem like it'd be... on the table, i don't know. they don't quite mesh that way.. THAT BEING SAID THOUGH . even as someone who doesn't like fake dating that much, it brings to mind the agony of pretending to be in a normal relationship while knowing that it's false & can't and won't happen. & they don't even really want it to happen; and yet /still/ they so desperately do and hello, jon. apologies for the deception, but i wanted to make sure you started reading, so i thought it best not to announce myself. i’m assuming you’re alone; you always did prefer to read your statements in private. (slightly strained) i wouldn’t try too hard to stop reading; there’s every likelihood you’ll just hurt yourself. so just listen. now, shall we turn the page and try again?
