Thinking about vampires again and the fact that Cleo kept their trauma so well hidden and under wraps that so many of the fandom doesn't realize how bad things were in their past and it kills me. It kills me even worse thinking about the fact that they only opened up to Legundo about some of what they experienced and then hours later killed him makes it that much worse to me.
I'm seeing yalls tags about the moonrot part and OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THAT TOO.
I genuinely think Cleo just would not be able to tell Pearl for decades in fear because of how it whent the last time they opened up and that stings so bad. Pearl would know that something bothers them, but they blatantly refuse to tell her any of it and it stings so badly.
Plus the Cleo and Apo parallel where neither really opened up hits hard knowing that Cleo was more open about things than Apo. I really wish the two were able to properly communicate for longer, but I think the hatred brewed because they were simular.
