I don't even with the doctors and the losing speech and Linkara being the only thing to give Linksano purpose in this dimension and the basically playing Frankenstein and the sharp contrast between being sad in June and pleasant and giggling in July and keeping him in his own little sandbox and Harvey wanting to keep everybody alive and safe even if they've lost reality and what if he succeeds and FUCK!!!!

"I know, I know, 'never would be nice' but THIS is why we can't have nice things." Okay, I lol'd, not gonna lie.

Glad it got such a big reaction from you. XD

Sorry, sorry, I shouldn’t make laughing faces. But your distressed comments let me know I accomplished what I was hoping for with this. It is a very awful situation, isn’t it? >:D

But at least you still got a lol out of it for that one part, haha. Linksano might have snapped, but he can still come up with a good one-liner.

Oh my gosh this is so dark and creepy but totally believable. Linksano going off the deep end because of the loss of Linkara is something I can actually see, and I feel so bad for him while also wanting to just take him away from all the dangerous tools and put him in a place where he can't hurt himself or others. I know it must pain Linksano to keep losing people, but this just seems so unhealthy and wrong. I guess that's the sad truth we must accept about Linksano-he is always teetering on the edge of a pit of madness, and so many things could knock him into it

I feel so bad for him while also wanting to just take him away from all the dangerous tools and put him in a place where he can't hurt himself or others.

I know, right? You just want to take him away from all the sharp, pointy things and put him somewhere safe. “Unhealthy and wrong” does not even begin to cover this.

Yes, poor everyone. Yeah, this really broke Harvey and it’s taken him a lot of strength to pull himself together as much as he has, even if it is a very unsteady calm. I think being able to have a proper funeral for Linkara did a lot to help him feel some manner of peace, but you’re right that having to keep an eye on Linksano and seeing the experiments he’s doing probably isn’t going to do Harvey’s psyche any favors.

And poor, poor 90s Kid, who is probably keeping to himself now and trying to work through his grief any way he can.You just know the poor thing’s up in his room pretty much on his own

Very creepy and atmospheric. I appreciate how, without their center, they just fall further and further into their stereotypical roles. Well done!

Thank you. It's always interesting to ponder Linkara's influence on the team and what they would ever do without him. I'm glad you felt this was an interesting take.
