aight it's bop

Of course it would be 006 asking that! That's the experience 006 went though! And it was torture for him! I can't even put into words what this moment makes me feel, because 006 was only allowed to watch as 032 struggled his way through Camp. Before he heard the story about One, did he think 002 went through the same thing with him? What did it make him feel to learn that One could have been there for 002, but chose not to be?

I neeeed to know what 006 was thinking and how this recontextualized 002 for him. Bc we know there has been a substantial change! the beginning of the series has him completely misunderstanding 002, referring to him as a psychopath and agreeing with 005 that they don't know what goes on in his head. And then! And then in the most recent chapter it is him that understands 002 better than all the other numbers! While the others lament One getting away, 002 is relieved, and 006 doesn't even have to be there to see it to know 002 is happy that all of the numbers made it out of the skirmish alive.

these two make me unwell frfr
