How could this happen? (afterparty)

[folkscallmewander]

[Wander has reeled back from this execution faster than Mulan's. This murder wasn't an accident, but it was still terrible all around, and it wouldn't have happened under normal circumstances. Knowing that Tadashi planned this out made it...a bit better, but it still made something awful eat at his stomach.

Speaking of which, everyone needed to eat something light today. Right after the trial, he heads to the kitchen and prepares twenty bowls of fruit salad and mixes together ingredients for chocolate chip cookies. While they're cooling off, he slides a note under everyone's rooms.]



There's fruit in the lounge, cookies coming soon. We should stick together, especially after this.

[He might cry.

He's not going to, but he might.]

What- what do you call it? Being, um, a "confirmed bachelor."

[Ford's smile is one of recognition, and maybe a little fondness.]

That's precisely it. People used that quite a bit in my youth, not so much in the present day, but that works fine by me.

["People use sodomite, where I'm from," he might've said.

For the first time he wants to go somewhere other than home.]

Whew, that's a relief... I'm comfortable with who I am, but I never thought there were...that many others!

[sixfingeredstan]

I'm glad to hear that. Not everybody is. But I will tell you, we all feel alone at some point in the world. That's why it's so important to surround yourself with like-minded people!

[Like him!!]

[toogoodforhim]

There's not that many... "Like-minded people" in Villeneuve. I know what I am, but I'm pretty used to keeping it a secret.

[The smile he gets in return is almost wide enough to show the gap in his teeth.]

It's a surprise to meet a fellow "bachelor" here, of all places.
