again i just feel like if fries was able to break through that barrier and Finally Leave The City Behind and move on from there because he decided to do something other than digging himself into a deeper and deeper hole (especially knowing he was supporting puffball too and genuinely believed in her methods) it would become soooo much more narratively impactful if he was actually the one to bury evil leafy in the volcano and yoyle city as a whole. he has to move on from what happened. he needs to find new people- actually wait post canceled i just realized that it could also mirror pencil's need to move on from the past, to stop isolating herself, to and find new people fuck fuuccckkkk BUT ALSO IT'S SO INTERESTING BECAUSE HE'S LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF PENCIL WHERE PENCIL CLINGS DESPARATELY TO OTHER PEOPLE'S SUPPORT TO FEEL VALIDATED WHILE FRIES TRIES TO NEVER CARE AND PUSH HIMSELF AWAY AND ONLY REALLY RELATES TO OTHERS WHO ARE OUTCASTED AND ALIENATED AND FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!! YOU'D THINK HE'D BE THE PERFECT TARGET FOR ONE BUT EVEN SHEEEE DGAFFFFF BECAUSE SHE FELL FOR IT. SHE FELL FOR IT BRO. THAT'S HOW FUCKED HE IS. GOD.
