Are either of you protective of the other?
“...No. It’s.... it’s complicated.”
Upthur! Downthur! It's been so long, great to see you both!
Oh dear, this has happened before?
He wants... to pet...doggo...
Are you really mad at Downthur?
Or are you mad because you think he reminds you of the fact that you've failed Arthur? He is a perfect representation of all the shit Arthur sent through, and seeing all that must really hurt you, huh?
“.....”
“I don’t want to keep talking about this.”
I did miss you! You're so cute! And downthur, looove your sweatshirt. Super cool, my dude.
You're right. Arthur didn't deserve this. But downthur didn't *make* this happen. He didn't choose to be possessed. Didn't ask for things to go wrong. For anyone to be hurt or any such thing as that. He is the product of all of that happening. And you? You're making it *worse* on him when it's not his fault. But how you treat him? That's completely on you.
“He didn’t but he didn’t exist until they did! I was me and then bad things happened and then he was me too! And he’s so-- you see him! I should have protected Arthur from that so he could be happy but every time I didn’t do things right he happened!! And now Arthur isn’t happy.”
so upthur, downthur. Opinion on Splatterlewis? And how he seems to rather like you?
Upthur began to pace, talking fast. “Splatter?! He’s the best ever!! Except for Vivi of course I love her too! But he’s really smart and he he cares a whole lot and when he’s around I feel like I’m gonna bounce all around and I really wanna kiss him he’s so cute and he’s so nice and he gave me things for christmas did you know!? He makes me so happy! He once gave Arthur a hug and it was so warm and safe I really want to do that again at some point!! If he likes me that’d be amazing!!”
Downthur was seated on the ground. He shrugged. “I like him. He’s safe. He’s been through a lot. But he’s strong. And still kind. I admire him. I doubt he’d feel that way about Arthur, though. Arthur’s a mess. And he’s too good for me. And for Arthur.” He spoke with a nonchalance.
