>>70254789 >Welp, finally finished buying supplies and arrived home >Now to just enter the house and put them somewhere >As I enter the house Uncle Randy greets me >"Hey, Olivia! Back from shopping already?" >"Yep. Where's everyone else?" >"Sophie left for Vinnie's sleepover while Damian is just with Liz." >"Oh...let me guess, complete freedom over the TV?" >"Yep, unless you want to contest it." >"Nah, Inco isn't coming over so we don't need it for a marathon." >As I mention him I think back to his behaviour >Recently, he's been responding to my anime references with knowledge >Has he been reading my favorite? I never saw him look around my books >Meanwhile, Uncle Randy smiles smugly >"Hey, Liv. Wanda know a little secret?" Cont
>>70255821 >"Yes?" I say as I put my bag on the table >"Inco, when you aren't around, asks Damian to tell him what books you read." >"Really?!" I say as my face starts to blush. >'He really did check out my mangas?!' >"Yes. Said he wanted to surprise you since you 'confuse him to unbelievable levels' or something." >"Wow..." >"He's really determined too. Started reading those books with red symbols on it since he knew you loved them." >"Red symbols?" Cont.
>>70255945 >"Yeah, the ones with the red symbol, sorta like a weird 8? Said you named Guts after the main guy." >'Guts?...wait, that means it's...' >"OH NO!" >"Olivia?! What's wron-" >"HE'S TOO INNOCENT FOR BERSERK! HE'S NOT A STRUGGLER!" I scream as I open the door and move towards Inco's house >My wheels make friction sounds as I hurry >I finally arrive and open the door >As I enter I see I'm too late >He's sprawled out on the floor, volumes all around him as he tears and snot cover his face >He's read the Eclipse >He notices me but before he can act I tackle-hug him >"It's okay, Inco. I'm here... just let it all out." >"...How could Griffith do this to everyone?...Why did it happen?...WHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!" > I hold and console him as he mourns.
