newest chapter was CRAZYYYY lol he’s working thru some serious realizations rn
I like how after the first “emotionally dependent” scene he was trying to brush it off but then something Sonic related happened AGAIN and he was just there like
trying to process both watching Sonic (kind of) die AND the fact that dream and the hallucination are definitely related.
His subconscious keeps the concept of Sonic being close to him tucked away to keep himself sane. The emotional connection Flash had with Sonic have made him stronger (more stable) yet more vulnerable (manipulatable). But it’s not something he had any choice in or could do without, despite being raised for it and trying his damn best to lol. Even just the concept of it and being close with someone was a necessity.
frustrating and confusing. i like it.
