I have this major entrance exam tomorrow and I don't have the one pen that is the only one allowed for this.
EAT FOOD if you haven't already!!
It's important!!
If you don't eat, you don't shit, if you don't shit, you die, so eat, shit, and live!
A sleepy letter for my sweetheart.
Cheesy as it is, candid it is too. It's Tumblr, so my pride won't take its tomb. A day so young it was, in as many chapters so far of our story explored. Immaturity or fun, it made its mark galore. Somehow, in teenage bliss all shames and shys left, to my own devices i was kept. Boldness perhaps, or a heart filled with blood the colour red of a rose. But, back then I said the words, and a reply I got to shake my world, I said, "I was wrong.. we Do fit in each other's lives.. through the cracks though, like our bodies when we hug." and I heard, "Through the cracks. Like how your hands fits in mine." I like to believe so, darling, because much like our hands and bodies so do the bracelets we crafted, resting comfortably on each other's wrists, a reminder.. I'm yours, and you're mine.

Is requited romantic love even real or does it only exist in The Amazing Devil songs?
DOT/TORE: TOUCHSTARVED
zandik is a very high ranking member within the sonobium. no one knows his real name. people inside and outside the tower know him only as "il/dottore". something kuras no doubt loathes deeply, due to him not being a doctor...at all.
his specialty lies in monsters, studying them, taking them apart. reverse engineering them so to speak. his goal being to understand them on any and every level he can. so he can find ways to make humans fundamentally equal or even greater than the invading creatures. that said, humans are not exempt from his horrific, and deeply unethical practices. as he experiments with giving humans magic, curses, and gifts that carry him closer to his goals.
though he appears human...it is a topic up for debate. even those at the sonobium are unsettled by him. and characters like vere and ais have difficulty getting a read on him for one reason or another. i.e his eyes are covered, and his mind and character are simply too shrouded and twisted to really grasp properly. rumors abound state that dotto was human once-- but experiments on himself have split him apart, and changed him into...something else. at the most he can be seen as both.
he does occasionally leave the tower to venture through eridia himself. or...maybe it's another him. his persona, and demeanor changing entirely. and even his appearance on occasion. it's all ruse however, to lure in potential test subjects. outside he is a lot more charming, and easy to talk to. happily carrying conversations of any kind, and perhaps...even sharing secrets to encourage trust. though unknown to anyone who'd be daring enough to listen-- the deeper the secret he shares, the more likely you are to go missing after the encounter.
the only one who discovers his true name right off the bat, and remains intact, is the MC. zandik offers the MC a potential cure, but that he would need something of equal or greater value in return. likewise, he is will to offer similar offers to others too. the details up for debate / need some plotting.
the only clear thing about him, is that zandik has magic. it is not a subtle or hidden secret. what he can do however is a mystery. because he never feels a need to really use it when he's out and about.
oh yes. he has segments in this au too, how could he not. an accomplishment made thanks to his study in monsters. the concept here is very very similar to what we know in his genshin lore. what little we have anyway.
he knows kuras. and he knows of vere, though the fox is expressly off limits for him. a point made very very clear very bluntly.
while his nature( human or not )is a mystery...he is very uncanny and unsettling to anyone that can sense or feel auras...
