like. you're sixteen and you love your older brother but you feel so suffocated and upset he won't listen to you you run away in a fit of teenage angst. and yeah youre mad at him and hes mad at you but hes still your big brother so he loves you and hes gonna come find you right. because hes always protected you and kept you safe. he's gonna come get you and bring you home and you'll have dinner together like always and you'll be so glad to see him because you do love him even if youre mad at him. hes gonna come look for you. right. right?

remove 4c and there's nothing keeping nom (semi-)stable and also no foil to highlight katie's attempts to break away from nom. remove katie and there's no motivation for nom (in general and to save 4c) and also no foil to highlight 4c's subsumption of his identity into nom's. remove nom and well there's just no story. derogatory

they should have given bfkatie a gun. in fact give irl katie a gun too

:/ what if he loved you and would do anything for you except for what you asked of him. what if his devotion was self serving and suffocating. what if you couldnt bear to leave. what if you were a yoke he had placed around his neck and he called it love. what if you did leave and it destroyed him. what if you were just trying to live. what if it wasn't your fault. what if it was. ://///

because he needs you :) because the full weight of smothering obsession upon you is terrifying and intoxicating :) because to be leaned upon so heavily is its own kind of power :) because who else would let themselves be subsumed by him. who else would let you be subsumed. and because he needs you :)
