So, now that Emmet's is out, didn't those Lodge stories put ideas in your head? The fact that, even though these are supposed to be plausibly-deniably romantic outings, both twins could be asked "Is it okay that you're doing this with me instead of your brother?"
Makes me think about like... an open relationship, that's kind of an open secret. Everyone knows something weird is happening between those two, so to be asked out on a date or for a hookup with one produces that kind of reaction. Just, a nervous "Is your brother okay with this?"
Emmet thinks it's kinda funny that everyone needs to check in like that, but Ingo is HUMILATIED that so many people seem to notice.
The idea that the general public of Nimbasa is kind of just... aware, but not making it into a problem because they don't wanna deal with the subway potentially shutting down or something. New Yorker Behavior.
