….Okay. Yeah sure. This might as well happen.
…I lost my original timeline, up to a certain point. I tried to make an invention, it backfired, and I lost everyone I cared about. There are echoes of them in canon- my husband no longer exists, but his child does, despite having a different mother, but it’s not the same. It was never the same, despite how hard I tried to cultivate the timeline to give me back what I lost.
I eventually grew to see the TBD as my new family. A replacement for what once was. I tried my best to fill the boots of the Old Director. I raised orphaned interns as if they were my own.
It all fell apart, of course. My employees barely recognized me, my interns ran away, Time itself started warping my appearance and tearing me apart.
I say all this, to make it easier to understand how I felt about Shadow Milk Cookie. Did we ever really know each other? No, not really. But I felt a sort of connection between the two of us regardless, like he was another intern of mine. I did occasionally pop in unannounced to see what he was doing (he rarely appreciated it, especially when he was scheming). Maybe it was out of misplaced parental affection. I don’t rightly know.
I hope he’s doing well now, wherever he is.
