Mmmmm ok, Numbuh 4 here again before my other ask is even posted lol but like... I really miss the treehouse. I remember sleeping there the most out of anyone in Sector V, for several reasons not least of which being my home situation was... Complicated and I did not feel comfortable there. Home in the sense of where my parents lived always felt like it was some weird in-between thing where they tried to simultaneously keep Australia not just a distant memory and bury/hide that we lived there before. I had no say over how much or little there was that reminded me of where I still considered home (America never really felt right to me, I only was cool with it because of Sector V really), I just had to deal with the days mum would start putting up or taking down whatever she felt like, the times dad would try out an American accent for a week and look at me weird when I refused to follow his lead, but in my room in the treehouse, it was mine. No one else to tell me I couldn't have stupid seashells and pictures of places I missed up or not up. I had one I really liked and one time, I thought it'd been broken, and Numbuh 2 started making a plan to fly to Australia with me to find a new one. Turns out, it'd been another one that broke and that one just fell behind some other junk, so the "take Numbuh 4 home just to get a stupid shell" mission was cancelled, but he still offered to take me to get a backup, in case it ever did break. I told him when the plans were 150% solid, we'd go. We never got around to it, but he'd show me flight plans and upgrades he was working on to make sure we could get there under the radar. 1 even pre-approved it, said short of a serious emergency, we could take off on short notice. As a team. And none of the others seemed to resent or be upset about that.
Ugh, maybe I should watch my source again for the first time in... 10+ years? Maybe? Just to see my sector again... Guh, I would'a been so embarrassed to admit how much they meant to me, but I guess I've changed a lot. I guess that's what happens when I get to live past 11.
