There was definitely a second there where Dera just assumed Acedia had decided he sucked and was horrible. And another minute where he worried Acedia had gotten some final "NOW I AM A CRAZY ASSHAT FOREVERRRR" memory. But even then he wasn't going to just up and give up because Acedia's too much of a centerpiece in his life now.

The second he figured out it was because of a game just erased any negative feelings that might've been allocated to Acedia. (tho he will still be angry that Ruby was betting away pieces of themselves. FOOLS :U) But really he just . . . can't know that and place any blame for the things Acedia did on him. It's all the damn personae >( SO HE WAS VERY HONEST when he said they were okay.

re: love. It is a . . . kind of love? But it's sure as hell not the traditional ideal of it. It's unhealthy and crazy and built on obsession and codependence that's been helped along a lot by Allen cleaning up the room that represented their relationship a lot. \:D/ STRONG FEELINGS ARE HAPPENING YES but Dera is not the best person to actually identify what feelings he is feeling.

Now talk to me about his relationship with Dera vs the one with Luke :|a
