#passage guide

Try not to hurt the people close to you in the process, Alef

and the crowd does a standing ovation for our fav character saving the day!

all of the passage spirits are autistic. yes including the guide. they literally have a special interest in mask making. they're able to handle the adolescents because they remembered how they struggled in ways other kids didn't when they were younger. i feel like all of the adolescents show it in different ways. 1. i relate to oddball outcast because i'm often left out of group activities for having other interests that few people share, which is a very autistic experience. 2. tumbling troublemaker rolls around as a stim. they definitely cause trouble if they have a grudge against someone because it's in their name but i feel like they could also just space out and cause damage if they do something important without thinking. 3. overactive overachiever struggles to read the room and sometimes doesn't notice if they make others uncomfortable by showing off 4. i think melancholy mope has depression but i think they could also be irritable often because they're implied in their official personality traits to be a picky eater which could mean they have sensory issues which could extend beyond the feeling of food in their mouth. they might get exhausted easily when forced into social situations like with the passages or even just being around the other adolescents if they're too chatty. sorry this bullet point is long holy hell
