Caleb Love and deep space thoughts- SPOILERS AHEAD
Second update of brain dumping my thoughts as I play through the game⦠this time entirely Caleb focused
Ok so Iāve been reading Calebās anecdotes, dates, every scrap of info that becomes available to meā¦. And holy shit heās such a simp!
Man almost fucking died, was lost in space for 2 weeks, and heās just like āhaha hey pipsqueak! Yea secret training mission, sorry, Iām back online!ā As heās in a hospital bed. Like baby boy not letting mc know he almost died???? And then the card/memory/whatever itās called where heās sick, and she has to basically beg him all day to let her in? Man wants to be Superman for her. Seriously, heās out here becoming a pilot cuz it would pay well and help provide for mc, and if anything happened he could just whisk her away.
He literally worships the ground mc walks on. Obsessed with the necklace he gave him, kissing the pendant before each flight, not letting her lift a finger at the house when it comes to chore type things, using his evol to win her plushies at the claw machine⦠also heās soooo obviously into the domestic life with mc! His house is bare bones before the reunion. Then MC shows up and thereās the scene where heās surrounded by boxes, setting things upā¦.. I picture him totally kicking himself for not having everything set up sooner, bc he got a house just so she could move in. I see him just living in an apartment thatās part of the officer barracks. Thereās no reason why he has a whole ass house if not for mc. He just didnāt expect her to have infiltrated his ranks as a spy and to pop up so soonā¦. But hey sheās here now and so heās totally buying everything and having a hot ikea build sesh in that slutty little tank top of his.
Oh and you know heās a cheeky idiot about the fact that mc picked his room when deciding where to stay. Like we got that from the gameplay obviouslyā¦. But I just want to take moment to appreciate how hard that man must have been grinning on the inside. I also think itās so cute that mc really is just making his place a second home. Sheās got a little garden going at his house! She talks about the little yellow flowers she planted there in one of the text messages, and when he mentioned restocking his snacks on a community post mcs already planning on raiding it.
Also heās been so obsessed with her since they were kids. Like heās got some weird amnesia brain trauma shit going on after his deep space incident, and he scored poorly on the mental health portion of his exams (not him answering the āwhatās the greatest challenge with flight missions?ā Question with āitās hard to get home on timeā), and Iām assuming he was also an experiment by ever like MC is (but I havenāt gotten to the point where I can say that for sure), but like. That isnāt why heās the way he is. Man was out here protecting her from bullies, the thing where heād buy two of everything for mc, think he said something like āI wanted to grow up to be the most loyal⦠well you know, I could beā LOYAL HUSBAND? But from the jump heās been doing everything for her. Itās so interesting getting this background from all the memories and whatnot. Like heās made it such a source of pride to take care of mc in every tiny way, and so when she says stuff about not needing him, or uh, I donāt remember what thing it was part of but she fixed some electronic and was like ādamn that was easier than I thought, guess I gotta stop bugging you for every tiny little thing, I can just figure it out.ā and he PANICS! Like no baby- thatās his comfort thing. No matter what else is going on, at least he can feel needed and wanted when you come playfully whining to him that you canāt find your favorite mug. Heās the walking advertisement for acts of service. Also one last thing.
Yall noticed how he put his hat on mc like right after the reunion? The only thing I could think of is what it means when you put on a guys cowboy hat. Like damn Caleb. Sheās still in shock that youāre not dead. But get it ig.
