uh so despite the insane amount of tbd I have decided that I want Philip K to go school and his parents obviously have had this change of heart because they gain something from it. And aren’t thinking realistically about this all, they’re literally chucking their visions from the divine symbol of everything they stand for into the deep end and Philip K knows that he isn’t going to be treated the same as his classmates but his parents haven’t even considered it because he’s so important there’s no way anyone would be mean to him. Despite him being an important and respected figure in the town his classmates know he’s fucking weird and his teacher is willing to let him do just about anything he wants.

I think that because he likes to read he’s probably read some “new kid in school” stories, and he decides he needs to make a good impression. His parents have never taught him how to actually interact with people, he only knows how to play into his role. So rather than just standing about and being a symbol he has to try and talk to people. I think some people try to be way to nice to him, others treat him very formally, but it’s all in a really weird way so he can’t tell if everyone is obsessed with him or despises him. There is definitely a mix.

anyways at some point he decides that the only person who doesn’t have a lot of friends already is Adenine and follows her to her lunch spot (some stairwell somewhere). Obviously Adenine is not enthusiastic about this because she already thinks that Philip K can read her mind and is seeing all her “evil thoughts” but doesn’t want to be rude because that would also be immoral. I think they kind of hang out in the same stairwell not really talking that much, or their conversation is extremely awkward but Philip K feels more comfortable with Adenine than anyone else. But things are definitely like “Hi I’m Philip K :)” “yeah I know”
