me
‎2‎:‎45‎ ‎AM You didn't ruin anything.‏


 I accept full responsibility for destroying Lin.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎46‎ ‎AM But.. but..‏


 I don't want him to be broken. ;n;‏


 I want him to be snarky‏


 and loving‏


 and and‏


 I want him to stay a detective.‏







me
‎2‎:‎46‎ ‎AM He's gonna be a mute for a long time.‏


 And he can't be a detective. Not any more. His psyche wouldn't allow it.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎46‎ ‎AM But..‏


 But..‏


 KENTA.‏


 Peridot cries.‏







me
‎2‎:‎47‎ ‎AM Aspen cuddles and pets.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎47‎ ‎AM Peridot shoves.‏


 No!‏


 You made me do this!‏







me
‎2‎:‎47‎ ‎AM I did it.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎47‎ ‎AM I thought you wanted them to have a rivalry!‏







me
‎2‎:‎47‎ ‎AM Not you.‏


 I did.‏


 But I also didn't want to lock anybody from their characters.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎48‎ ‎AM I didn't want to break Lin!‏







me
‎2‎:‎48‎ ‎AM So instead of locking anyone, I turned it into massive character development.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎48‎ ‎AM This is going to break Niem, too!‏







me
‎2‎:‎48‎ ‎AM How?‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎48‎ ‎AM She's not going to be able to cope all that well with a silent husband. She'll be blaming herself for everything. It'll almost be like he's gone, again. She'll be all lone.‏







me
‎2‎:‎49‎ ‎AM He won't let her.‏


 I can guarantee you that.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎50‎ ‎AM how?‏







me
‎2‎:‎50‎ ‎AM He'll be constantly leaving apologies everywhere.‏


 Breakfast in the morning.‏


 Lunch when she's home.‏


 Dinner waiting for her.‏


‎2‎:‎51‎ ‎AM Notes in everything. On everything.‏


 Each one saying "I'm sorry."‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎51‎ ‎AM That'll make it worse!‏


 She'll be devastated that she's made him feel like that!‏







me
‎2‎:‎51‎ ‎AM Wow.‏


‎2‎:‎52‎ ‎AM I am a much worse person than I thought.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎52‎ ‎AM She's going to live in constant fear that Lin is going to leave her.‏









Peridot
‎2‎:‎53‎ ‎AM pfft‏







me
‎2‎:‎53‎ ‎AM But no, Lin won't leave her.‏


 He's gonna just kinda ghost around.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎53‎ ‎AM I know that, and you know that, but she doesn't know that.‏


 Instead of crying once every now and again in the privacy of the bathroom, she'll probably cry herself to sleep.‏


 And also curse Min for making her do it.‏







me
‎2‎:‎54‎ ‎AM Lin's going to cuddle her.‏


 She's the only thing keeping him alive.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎54‎ ‎AM what have we done‏


‎2‎:‎55‎ ‎AM I don't want to go to bed like this. ;n;‏


 I feel terrible‏







me
‎2‎:‎55‎ ‎AM I'm sorry!‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎55‎ ‎AM What'll Lin do now?! HE WAS A SEXY COP,  KEN.‏







me
‎2‎:‎56‎ ‎AM He's gonna lean so hard on her.‏


 He will literally not be able to leave Niem alone.‏


 Well. When she's home.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎56‎ ‎AM that'll confuse the fuck out of her‏







me
‎2‎:‎56‎ ‎AM Yes, it will.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎56‎ ‎AM Will he ever be himself again? ;n;‏







me
‎2‎:‎57‎ ‎AM Maybe.‏


 I honestly don't know.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎57‎ ‎AM Would knocking Niem up make him happy again? ;n;‏







me
‎2‎:‎57‎ ‎AM Nope.‏


 That'd make him feel even worse.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎57‎ ‎AM why!?‏







me
‎2‎:‎57‎ ‎AM Because he was looking forward to being an honorable police officer.‏


‎2‎:‎58‎ ‎AM To coming home to his wife and child, who'd hug him, and ask if he'd caught any bad guys.‏


 And he'd just laugh in the privacy of his own home, and cuddle the child as he sat down, and informed him that there were no bad guys to catch, this time.‏


‎2‎:‎59‎ ‎AM And that the city was clear of crime.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎59‎ ‎AM WHY‏


 THE FUCK‏


 WOULD YOU LET ME‏


 DO THAT‏


 I HATE YOU‏


 OH MY GOD‏







me
‎2‎:‎59‎ ‎AM Because I'm horrible.‏







Peridot
‎2‎:‎59‎ ‎AM BUT NOW I FEEL LIKE SHIT‏







me
‎2‎:‎59‎ ‎AM That was honestly the most coherent thing I've ever conceived for Lin.‏







Peridot
‎3‎:‎00‎ ‎AM I'M GOING TO BED BEFORE I ACTUALLY START CRYING OVER WHAT I DID‏


 BECAUSE I JUST MIGHT‏







me
‎3‎:‎00‎ ‎AM Aww!‏


 Aspen feeds hot cocoa and MLP.‏







Peridot
‎3‎:‎00‎ ‎AM Peridot doesn't accept any of it and just goes to bed upset.‏







me
‎3‎:‎02‎ ‎AM Aspen sniffles.‏
