ALRIGHT SINCE WE DIDNT GET THE HUGS I WANTED IM WRITING THEM OUT AND MAYBE ILL DRAW THEM WHEN I HAVE TIME
Carmen & Shadowsan: CATCHING HER DOES NOT COUNT AS A HUG i know her head was reeling and still scrambled but like that could have been used as "i dont know whats going on but youre familiar and a constant in my life please tell me what is happening right now" type hug. Like it doesnt matter which reality was real he was still a parental figure for 16 years of her life. I can see it either standing or kneeling. Either way Carmen's ugly crying into the front of his shoulder and gripping him as tight as she can around his middle but thats not very tight because her body is weak and thats also upsetting so she cries more. Shadowsan is a mix of "im so happy to have you back" and "i have no idea what to do right now" so he awkwardly but tightly holds her and blinks back his own tears. ACME does not interupt. When shes done crying and trying to ask questions he keeps handing her waterbottles because he's a dad and dads are always on you about hydration (and his shoulder is so wet he's worried).
Carmen & the siblings: THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN INDIVIDUAL HUGS group hugs are not satisfing if youre the person on the outside
Carmen & Ivy: i feel like this would be a long one but not as long as the one with Shadowsan. Maybe two or three minutes. Ivy threw her arms around Carmen's neck and is squeezing the life out of her shoulders. If she was higher and around her neck or lower around her ribs she would actually hurt Carmen with the force of this hug. Carmen is holding her a lot gentler. Theyre definitely rocking side-to-side. They dont talk and both tear up but only Carmen's fall.
Carmen & Zack: Zack is crying. This makes Carmen cry. Zack does the thing all guys do for some reason where their arms go around you diagonal (one over shoulders the other under) and put one hand on your neck. Carmen hooks her chin over his shoulder. They crying stops after a minute because they start laughing. They pull away but are still holding arms. Zack mentions how it felt to see her brainwashed and she tears up again. Zack makes her laugh and they break apart to walk into the next room.
Carmen & Player: THEY MET AND PLAYER DIDNT HUG ANYONE. I feel like they would've hugged goodbye. Player is a 16 year old socially distanced introvert and the only touches Carmen's had in the last 4 years (not including punches) are when Zack or Ivy throw a arm around her. Its A W K W A R D. its very loose, Carmen has to lean down, theres like a foot of space between their feet. Awkward.
Player & the siblings: this i can see as a group hug. Player is both happy and embarressed.
Carmen & Gray: i could go without this one because Gray made it clear he wasnt going to find her and she already said her goodbyes to him at the lab but if her head is screwed back on a little bit she'd definetly want to check on him before she left. Its not awkward persay but the atmosphere makes it obvious its a goodbye and the last one they'll have. She doesnt know if she should stand or sit down or even sit on the edge of his bed. Gray is waiting for her to lead the conversation. Theres lots of silence between their sentences. She hugs him goodbye. Leans down to him since he's in the bed. Its a very normal hug. Not to tight (the hug of Gray and Black Sheep) or to loose (the hug of Carmen and Crackle). Not to long or to short. She's leaning down and he's leaning up. His arms over her shoulders and hers around his ribs. Both have chins on the other's shoulder. Theres whispers of "stay safe" and then Carmen walks out the door.
Carmen & Julia/Chase/ACME: if Carmen stuck around to say goodbye she would just shake their hands. She's still a little scrambled, tired, and wants to go home. She tiredly says "thanks", shakes their hands, and gets on the plane. Chase and Julia find it all really anticlimatic or lackluster considering what she's put them through the last 2 years. They just kinda give each other a look. Theyre both probably overthinking it (and wished they used both hands because thats a little less impersonal). Chief and all the other agents find this goodbye appropriate.
