Nia begins to wonder.
(Pandoria begins to wonder.)
After a conversation with Zeke and Pandoria about Turters, Nia feels... off.
(After a conversation with Brighid and Dromarch about Zeke, Pandoria feels strained.)
She'd mentioned that Turters had been crawling into her bed at night, and Pandoria suggested that Nia should also be able to take care of him.
(She'd joked that Zeke had chronically terrible luck, and both Brighid and Dromarch asked if she loved him.)
Of course, despite her denial, she wanted to!
(Of course, despite her denial, she did!)
But was it really just about that?
(But could it not have been just about that?)
The way Nia's heart fluttered when Pandoria looked at her, offering to let Nia take care of Turters...
(The way that Pandoria's heart thumped against her chest, wishing Brighid would say a different name...)
It confounded her in a way she didn't like.
(It bit into her in a way she wished she could scream about.)
She's gotta be wrong, right?
(She just wants to say they're wrong, but they're not.)
Nia... well, suffice to say, she's grown fond of Zeke and Pandoria.
(Pandoria isn't just fond of Zeke.)
Did Pandoria even realise the connotations of asking her to take care of Turters?
(And Pandoria had only JUST realised the connotations of asking Nia to take care of Turters!)
And Zeke... was he playing along?
(And of COURSE Zeke was playing along!)
Except they were so obviously in love! Zeke and Pandoria would never even THINK of being with anyone but each other.
(Zeke, despite loving her completely, could obviously tell she was thinking about Nia in different ways.)
Okay, so maybe Nia had feelings for Pandoria.
(So unfortunately, Pandoria had caught feelings for Nia.)
But it wasn't JUST Pandoria! Zeke too!
(B-But not just Nia! Pandoria loved Zeke so much!!)
Oh, titan.
(Oh, titan.)
Why did this happen to me?
