It’s not the fact Eddie didn’t show much emotion when venom died it’s the fact he was so ready to die with him and made his peace with it and even tried to touch venom again after being kicked out just for venom to protect him instead

Happy 1 year anniversary to the fic that has consumed my every waking hour! I really cannot recommend SYMB to you guys enough because it's truly such a good fic. The way @doppopoetry molds the plot of BSD to fit, of all things, high school volleyball, is sooo masterful. I'm so honored to have been part of the SYMB journey and I can't wait to see where the story goes ^^
