[ch1, and a tangential piece here]

icymi, chapter 4 is up!

Alex trails off, and Jonas is starting to get curious about what her ominous silence means when she touches him again. For a brief moment he stumbles over his own feet, but it’s quickly corrected. He’s still stiffer than he should be for a few seconds. The hands in his pockets ball into reflexive fists, and it takes another moment to begin processing her words once more. Eventually he makes himself relax, and he’s thankful that his jacket (hopefully) made his immediate reaction a little less noticeable. He’s not used to being taken by surprise like that.

“She’s the worst,” Ren tells him, though there’s still that self-satisfied little smirk on his face, so he can’t be that mad. “You’d probably do better to disable yours as well; she’s a menace who can’t be trusted with voice activated technology.” He kicks for Alex under the table, but hits Jonas’s shin instead.
