Hello. :)
May I ask a 4. (What if it never ends), an 8. (Does anyone love you? Could anyone, ever?) and a 19. (When was the last time you did something entirely for yourself?) from this ask game?
...And a 5. (Do you consider yourself a regular person? Or are you extraordinary?), an 8. (Does anyone really know the real you?) and a 29. (What is your ultimate goal?) from this one?
For any character(s) you like. (Including maybe the 19. for Khaled but no pressure.)

Thank you for asking, and thank you so much for linking the asks too! (Saves me the bother of trying to hunt down the links in my endless reblog ocean lol)
Timeline-wise you will be getting the most recent version of Khaled to answer these questions, and this version of Thomas (the one right before his demise).
4. Khaled, in a tone of tired resignation: If it never ends, it never ends. At least I will know what’s coming, no matter how much I hate it.
8. My family loved me, Julio loved me, my roommates, they…care for me. Could anyone actually love me, a cheap, easy, unstable, borderline insane mess of a person, using that term lightly? Is it sad that I’m not sure anymore?
19. Visiting the cemetery was kind of a thing I did for myself. I didn’t go up there out of any obligation to sweep the tombstones or nothing, I just wanted to talk. That’s not so strange. It was kinda…nice…

5. Thomas, confidently: Somewhere in the middle. I mean, I’m not gonna say I’m the best bastard New York City has ever seen, but I also know I’m more than the average Joe. It’s healthy to have self-esteem you know.
8. Nobody knows the real me, and the only one that’s come close to it is dead. I’ve tried to show the real me to Khaled, bits and pieces, hoping he’ll see me and accept all of me. We’re getting there.
29. Keep the family business going, and live the best life I can while I’m still north of the grass. Ideally share that life with the person I love, the person who can never leave me like the rest of them.
