That was... a softer answer than some Tobi could have realistically given. It's sad and not what I /want/ him to say but he has good reason to hold back from friendship. He has, what, his one brother, sort-of? And even that is very one-sided. So it makes sense, even if it STABS MY HEART. Rudy's face, the pause and then the change in his eye, was another layer of shine on a deck that needs new support beams. He's putting on a good face but he's c r u m b l i n g and really could use a friend too.
Tobias Schneien is a boy of 15 who's been homeschooled his whole life until now. Raised in a church in the woods with his many siblings, tentative mother, and religious father, he is wrought with severe paranoia of being in public with peers by himself. His only comfort here are the voices in his head, the blade in his hands, and his god.
Until he meets an odd boy who shows him just how fun being a devil can be and life falls into a place Tobias feels he can't escape.
Even if he wanted to.
And remember! If you don't like it, you neither have to read it nor comment on it! It's dark as shit and contains sensitive topics so read at your own risk. It only gets darker as you go.
This is NOT for children.
I put maturity warnings over episodes that definitely warrant one. Do not ask me to put warnings on everything.
This is your warning.
Take your time. Stop reading if you're too uncomfortable. Check in with yourself and make sure you're okay enough to read. This is not for everyone.
