“...slowly, his hands slide off the keys completely. Other musicians can be heard through the walls with the nothingness that fills the space between them as he thinks. Julie is suddenly very aware that the room could choke them with its warmth. There's a light sheen of sweat on Verso's skin, shining in the sun from the window, and they are seated hardly ten centimeters apart and doing nothing about it. Her own tongue trips over the words to try and pull him out of his pensive stupor. The you've got something there stays jailed in her mouth - quel bordel, she should have just mentioned the damned sugar when they had more time. She can't brush the powder away with her fingers, either."

She’s there in everything he does and everything he is, because he loved her but then he killed her.

As a rarepair enjoyer, OUCH! it stings and I feel for you 😣💔

But while this is technically not wrong, lemme just say that JSY has a habit (a good one) of never affirming any ship whatsoever. Leaving that open for the player to shape however they want.

This happened when she cleared up the Monoco snuggle part (that it can be friendship or more if you want). Even Sciel and Lune technically isn't canon and it's best all of these are left vague.

It just seems a good move to not confirm a "canon ship" for the one character that can potentially have multiple romance paths and shut down all conversation, you know?

What I'm saying is it sucks but don't take it to heart 🥺 this is how JSY handles Verso's potential love interests across the board.

He seems comfortable enough sitting with his thoughts that he's not using the wine to get out of his own head, at the very least. Maybe he's just lonely. Verso does like talking, and entertains himself by climbing into her head when she's free enough to make merry. Julie is… strangely unbothered by that part of their routine.

The part that does bother her is the meta aspect: the routine itself.

Verso is there every night.
