What do you mean, cursed you? You were the one who was getting so close to a sick person and overexerting yourself…
You weren't even wearing proper PPE

I should tell Dr. Kal'tsit to put you through lab safety

[oversea]

As if you would have worn any if the roles were reversed.

Don't tell her anything.

[transmit]

Don't you have a shoot to do

[ he's talking to her right now ]

[oversea]

Don't snitch on me.

[ but he does has a shoot..

he will set his phone down to go do his job. ]

[transmit]

[ silly thorns. there are no comrades when it comes to your wellbeing. one would think this means he wants thorns shot and found dead in a ditch, but he just wants him to thrive? be healthy? why is this a lot to ask for?!

he goes back to work fully aware that thorns will emerge from a lab training session with zero takeaways and no measurable character growth. still, spite can fuel him just as effectively as love.

they haven't even told each other they like like each other yet… it's only implicit… ]

[oversea]

[ he really is going to kill him.

but thorns goes and does his shoot. it is mostly solo pics where he is cold in the water, after after a while they bring a girl in for the yume factor. the het fans have won today... ]

[transmit]

[ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

elysium sees the preview… he sees the merch concepts… it'll be elysium's turn to have a strongly worded discussion with the director. this is not okay.

except this all just happens in his mind palace because he needs to pretend to be normal. ]

[oversea]

[ there is one shot in particular that kills thorns. they are not kissing, but their faces are close enough that any accidental movement would have their lips brush... it is scary for someone who has not even kissed his boyfriend yet...

but with that, he is free. after some time later, he texts elysium back. ]

Done.

[transmit]

[ did he make a mistake introducing thorns to this job…? he's vaguely thinking it, but life will soon change when he sees the pictures…

until then, he's just stressed by how much skin he's showing. without anything better to say, his response is his dinner.

it's another smoothie. ]

Elysium
I'm going to ban those.

[transmit]

I need to see regular meals from you first

[oversea]

I'll go and buy dinner
It'll be too late for me to make anything by the time I get home.

[transmit]

I'll wait before giving you a star for today's daily check-in

Are there any other obligations you have leading up to the holidays or are you done now?

[oversea]

This was the last thing.

When do you find out how many days you have?

[transmit]

By the 23rd latest…



I think this is their way of wringing out as much work from me as possible.

[oversea]

Can I report your job for violating labor laws?

[transmit]

If you secretly never want me to come back…

[oversea]

Should I have not asked for more days?
You're going to lose years of your life like this.

[transmit]

Nooooo
I promised you five days so you're getting five days!

Unless you've decided you don't want to see me for that long?

[oversea]

You're coming.
Or else.

[transmit]

Or else what?

[oversea]

You'll find out if you don't come.
Which you will.

[transmit]

When you put it like that, it makes me want to be difficult on purpose.

Can't I find out now?

[oversea]

You would rather be difficult on purpose than see me?

⛏️

[transmit]

Ending up in jail is how we'd for sure never see each other again

You have to behave

[ he will later learn



thorns did not behave and kissed another person… but for now, he believes in him… ]
