I’m so happy that Buddy joined the key family! Instead of like being born as an ex libris hostage or something. Violet and Goldie mention how they’ve *all* had to teach Buddy how to function in a different environment and how they all see him as a brother, and honestly I don’t think stargoth would’ve happened if the keys hadn’t already helped Buddy with adjusting first. Also stargoth would just look like trauma bonding from Buddy’s end if Chase was actually fr the first and only person to ever extend love to Buddy — I’m so happy he has his own support system even if they’re tiny and metal!!
