Chie, there's something we gotta tell you.

We heard it from someone else, but Jay confirmed it when we-- [bodily tackled him to the ground] confronted him about it. You can ask him for yourself if you don't believe us. I know I didn't want to believe it either.

[pinesforyou]

.... Yeah. He said he wanted to tell us on our own, but.... I don't know, Chie.

[a beat]

We wanted to tell you, at least. I don't know if he was really planning to do it himself but.... you deserve to know.

[there's so much she wants to say, but she doesn't speak. she doesn't even want to ask if they're okay, because that's long since become a very stupid question to ask around yuggoth. she can't even reassure them for the same reason.

instead, she just closes the distance and hugs the two of them.]

[why is this physical affection happening???]

Chie???

[oh my god did they make her cry.]

[pinesforyou]

Are you okay?

[she hugs back but she's concerned]

[wristbands]

[she's not crying, thank goodness, but there is a somber sadness in her smile]

I thought we could trust him.

[...]

He thinks it's the only way. I-- [sure, jay said he would've told them, but dipper doesn't know if he can trust that. and he still can't agree with it being the only way without actual proof.] I don't know. It's messed up.
