We’re going to do great things together, he said.
Once, then.
Again, now.
... When?
I dread to see if he’ll do anything tomorrow.
I only ever had-
....
I only ever wanted to have one valentine.
....
But the whole holiday is kind of silly! I think you should show what love you feel every day!
They all had their life mottos, didn’t they?
Mark did.
Damien did.
Hell, I think the Colonel said something like it, back then.
Damien and Mark said theirs so often I made my own.
Life is worth the hardship.
Doesn’t roll off the tongue as well, but... it’s true.

...
It’s been a while, but I think about the heist, sometimes.
It’s interesting, what happened.
How it didn’t jog my memory—
especially with him
— I’ll never know.
I don’t know what would have changed if it did.
I’m not-
I was never all sunshine and buttercups, you know.
I was vicious, sometimes. People really didn’t like me.
Even after the mirror, they didn’t.
I can’t stand people yelling, these days.
I was in so many arguments that devolved into just that.
I don’t know... it’s like, when I lost that part of me, everyone else was glad it was gone. That only the nice part was left.
I don’t like being reduced to just something I can’t really help.
it's too late.... ada's going to corner the cute market forever
No!
No, no, no— what about me, anon?
With my charisma? My charm? My handsome features?
I have everything I need! Why should Ada have everything?
@askadabee See? This is exactly what i was talking about-
If you like temper tantrums, I guess :p
He's a grumpy little catboy <3
You both understand I can read these, right?
Temper tantrum? If you didn’t—
...
Well, at least someone recognizes my true self. Thank you, Jennie.
Even if you did call me grumpy. I’m not, I’m... peeved.
I have no idea what you're talking about
Oh, well, if you're peeved rather than grumpy, then that settles that, I guess!
Such a shame, you were so set on being cute...
What-
I AM cute! I’m a catboy, just look at me!
That’s cute!
Oh, Mark, you're far too refined to be a catboy!
I mean, you are peeved after all....
That's alright <3 Ada can be the cute one! It suits them, don't you think?
How could you do this to me?
Here I thought you supported my ambitions, my ambitions of being a refined catboy, and you tell me this, of all things.
... It does suit them, but it suits me, too!
We can both be obnoxiously adorable!
... obnoxiously? :(
I-
Ada. Ada, honeybee, listen-
You’re- the whole thing is very-
You really go all in on-
I mean it is a bit much. Especially when you won’t share.
... oh.
It’s- it’s not on-
... you can do it if you want to. I don’t mind.
it's too late.... ada's going to corner the cute market forever
No!

You wish you made half the catboy I do. :p - Ada 🐝
Wh-
Ada, that’s my thing!
You can’t join in! Then what’s my thing?
You have your own thing!
With your robe and everything!
Fancy, or whatever.
I’m the fluffy little one.
You’re a little monster, is what you are.
Let me have this one thing! You already have a monopoly on cute, allow some competition!
I-
Don’t call me that.
But no! You’re a glamorous movie star type, you have your own style! Why try to take mine?
You wish you made half the catboy I do. :p - Ada 🐝
Wh-
Ada, that’s my thing!

please tell us your secret!
Okay, okay!
Um...
I was actually kind of excited for the date.
You know, it was early on, I was still kind of starstruck, I didn’t remember everything that happened...
You know him. He’s charming, he’s handsome, he knows that.
I remember that!
I think that was the first time I saw you break out the bee dress
For what it's worth, from what I could tell he was pretty excited, too
Not just good story excited. Like real excited
Real—
Well, that doesn’t matter. That spark faded a long time before I started to remember.
It wasn’t the best date I’ve ever been on, to put it lightly. Kind of puts a damper on things when you’re kind of forced to pay.
And don’t get your card back for a week.
And he kind of pouts when you cut your park walk short to pet a dog.
Sorry I kind of... swooped in.
There's no need to be sorry Bee
He's always had a lot of love to give!
Besides, we were on-- strange terms, anyway.
I still can't believe he made you pay! For all his time spent in high society, you would think he'd have better manners, haha
... Don't you kind of love when he pouts though
I know, but...
It’s in the past now.
And you’d think so, wouldn’t you? I don’t mind paying, but if you invite the person, it’s on you to pay, go half if they insist. Only polite.
That said, he did forget his wallet...
... It is endearing, I’ll give you that. At least until he starts whining. :p
No buts, Bee, it's okay <3
I swear that man would lose his own head if it wasn't attached to the rest of him
He used to be a perfect gentleman! He'll have to brush up on his etiquette
Oh but him whining is the best part- When he doesn't get his way immediately and he pouts and starts doing that voice-
I don’t blame him— I’m forgetful, too!
Even beyond the whole... thing.
If my memories are correct, you knew a way different side to him than I did. :p He was never as-
...
Hey, Jen, maybe you should ask him? You’d appreciate it more than I ever could.
Oh-
I- Ada, don't be silly, I couldn't possibly-
Besides, things are-
...
You know, now that you mention it, I hadn't ever really thought of it, haha
Well, maybe now’s the time.
Not to say you’ll fix him, but... you’re good for him. He cares about you.
He’s slowly becoming more like himself, again.
I’m not pressing, either. Just... I think it would work, if that means anything to you.
... That means more than you know, Bee
I'll think about it, at least
Not making any promises! Haha
That’s okay!
... I know what it’s like. To see him be so different. To not know if it’s ever going to be like it was.
No promises, but you have the possibility. That’s something even if you don’t.
