I’m surprised nobody has made an au where Tobias lowkey did kill Rudy and he’s haunted by it, Anyway au where tobi did kill Rudy and he’s haunted by it so bad he genuinely hallucinates Rudy And Rudy is weirdly taunting Tobias and stuff cuz it’s not REALLy Rudy but his own mind messing with him AND also Carmelo’s gang lowkey is theorizing that Tobias did it (when it becomes public news Rudy is missing) cuz they all saw Tobias with Rudy last but none of them say anything in fear
Emilio is lowkey going crazy about it cuz he almost immediately figured it out and he is also dousing Carmelo’s groups thoughts of connecting tobi to Rudy’s disappearance to try to cover for Tobias cuz he’s like in love with Tobias or whatever I imgine Carmelo being a lil dumb and saying something off handed about Rudy not being there and Tobias just that weird bug bug eye thing and Carmelo immediately shuts up
Adam feels a bit guilty cuz he left Rudy and now he’s missing, he’s also angry at Tobias since he was last with him and thinks Tobias let him get taken away or let him run away, he hasn’t connected the dots tho
Tobias was probably questioned but just had a mental breakdown so they didn’t really expect him to be the murderer, then Luther comes in and makes a cover story like “Rudy ran off” or sum and Tobias just goes with that bc his little hallucination of Rudy is taunting the FUCK out of him
This is very half baked uhm ask questions about the au hell yeah!!, naming it the goodbye, Rudolph au!!
