you know, I have a hunch that Aster is gonna want to redecorate his room when he (eventually) escapes.
I also have a hunch that he's never going to post himself online again, ya know, after all the stalking.
BOTH ARE SO TRUE!!!!!!
I was thinking abt his room yesterday, cuz his cousin. Stays in that apartment. He keeps his room exactly the same. Just in case they find him. Just in case he comes back. And he does escape!!! And his cousin is so happy to show him his room is just how he left it and uhhhh. Aster has a. Very healthy and calm reaction :)
He definitely starts going online again once he’s home but he. Abandons all his old accounts. All his new ones are basically empty, only used for liking and looking at things, and completely unidentifiable as him. He spends a lot of time holed up in his bedroom, scrolling aimlessly on his phone, feeling bitter jealousy towards people who get to live happy, normal lives, and probably torturing himself with true crime videos about his own case.
