When you posted about Agent Four and Acht meeting while Acht was living in the domes, you mentioned that Acht saw Marina on the news and Four had arranged with her to meet up with them. How did that end up going? Did Marina know they were going to be seeing Acht, or was it a surprise? And what was Acht’s thoughts seeing Marina on the news?
I’d say Acht’s initial thoughts when seeing Marina on the news were shock, excitement, and a little bit of jealousy. They’re surprised to see Marina there, but also really happy she got out of the domes and has a good life. Though, at the same time, they’re a little envious of her success, and they figure they’ll never be able to reach the same level as her since they’re more of a slacker. (Jokes on them, their music is going to take off eventually.)
Four didn’t tell Marina she was going to be meeting with Acht when the two met, so Marina was completely startled. The two were very happy to get to see each other again, and Marina started sobbing. Acht is really happy to see her too, but they make sure to not let her know how much her disappearance affected them. Marina can definitely tell Acht is hiding something, but she doesn’t pursue it. Four is just happy to see the two of them reconnecting, and the fact that Acht is hiding anything goes right over their head lol.
Thank you for the ask!!! I love exploring this concept
