Pulu Night and Ssoar
The Light of Deceit — a part of Fount — mocked him for craving companionship and for his loneliness, and then those same words were unknowingly repeated by Pure Vanilla.
Shadow Milk considered Pure Vanilla’s friendship when it was offered, then the gasp is him remembering. It explains why his reaction was so visceral. Pure Vanilla accidentally gave him a direct flashback.
On top of that, it also alarms Shadow Milk because it means that Pure Vanilla truly has peered into Shadow Milk’s inner desires… thanks to the Light of Deceit, once again.
The concept of mocking one’s own self, one’s own conscious, for quietly wishing for somebody who would understand you. The concept of that longing being ripped from your heart and exposed, before even you have come to grips with it. To have words you once used to make fun of your own deepest desires, at your absolute lowest, used (to your horror) with upmost kindness, sincerity, and love.
Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.
I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have historically been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.
