･ﾟ✧    it’s a bad habit, but Caroline has a very hard time keeping herself from referring to him as Cave, even if he’d prefer to go by Michael. she rarely says ‘Cave’ out loud ( and apologizes profusely every time she does ), but she has a very difficult time separating the name from the face. objectively, she knows he’s a different person from a different universe, but she can’t help her first reaction when she sees him.･ﾟ✧    at some point, she actually apologizes for what his Caroline tried to do to him. it’s stupid, inane and completely unnecessary, but she does it anyway. mostly because it doesn’t sit well with her that, even in a parallel universe she’ll never, ever see, there’s a version of her that would be able to do something so horrific to someone like him. it actually makes her physically ill to imagine it. so, she apologizes, even though it’s nowhere near her fault. it feels like the least she can do.･ﾟ✧    if at any point they stay together ( considering he’s got essentially nowhere to go ), she pours him a drink at the end of the day. it’s a weird bit of habit / muscle memory she picked up from taking care of her boss. she always feels stupid after, but whether the drink is touched or not, it’s always there.･ﾟ✧    not all of her thoughts and feelings about him tend to be leftover emotions from her boss, or reactions for his face. even from the start, she’s remarkably protective over him. she has a feeling he deserves someone looking our for him and keeping him safe. . . so why shouldn’t it be her?
