we're 150 plushies away from 2500, and there's one week left, so it's time for a reveal...
get your loopshie (loop plushie)
buy them. now. or else. (I’ll cry)
ODILE: Or is it Loop, nowadays? You seemed to prefer it from your counterpart, but I understand how those circumstances may have differed.
LOOP: I... I uh... ... // ODILE: ...it's alright if you don't know. We could try both names and see which you prefer? Loop and S--
LOOP: No. No, don't. L-- ... Loop's fine... // Avoiding eye contact
ODILE: ...
ODILE: You're sure? It doesn't sound fine.
LOOP: Yeah, well nothing's "fine," so... // LOOP, INTERNAL: Might as well pick whichever one will lead to me making a less embarrassing reaction
One name makes you feel as if you've lost your balance, and another makes you feel as if you've lost yourself. One is a reminder of all that you've become, and another is a reminder of all that you will never be again. Although your audience never left, they're only now meeting the person you are today. The thought of hearing the name "Siffrin" fall from their lips again... It's overwhelming. Sickeningly right, and sickeningly wrong. Too soon, when you're still only learning what "tomorrow" feels like.
This is after some progress has been made, Loop's hair is a little bit better taken care of!
