@genericdecay Their miscommunication is heartbreaking and illustrating their quiet tragedy would be a delightful affair, but I'll just go draw a puppyplay joke now.
@genericdecay And once he gets to know that Oberstein can experience pity, he also knows that there is no reason for all this to be more than just pity.
Even then Reuenthal stays, pathetic and unreciprocated. He hates himself for his heart still flutters, and he grows to hate Oberstein too.
@explrtrm A similar thought I had is Obes insisting he's not attracted to Roy, but he finds himself uncomfortably aroused when he's alone with him. To hide that he avoids Roy, which makes Roy want to entrap him even more
@explrtrm Obes intervenes to make sure drunk Roy doesn't make a fool out of himself, telling Roy he does it because it would reflect poorly on him as well. But Obes secretly has a tiny bit of compassion for Roy that he tries to pretend doesn't exist
