I'll save you a seat with a view

Noe

It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees

Jude’s happiness for her was all that mattered to Noe. Even if she’d been able to read minds, she’d have understood that his loneliness was more than skin-deep. And if he was jealous, she’d have known that it was nothing personal… it was just him being human and feeling all the feels that he was allowed to have.

In any case, his warm but subdued smile was one that Noe was used to seeing - and, frankly, was all that she’d ever known from him. After all, their meeting and subsequent friendship had been forged through the many trials and tribulations that life had seen fit to throw at him. She didn’t know the gentle, happy soul that Sohalia had once been privy to; she knew him only as he was now, and that was enough for her.

”It’s, like…” Noe scrunched her nose, thinking. ”It’s like, all of a sudden I have all these thoughts and feelings that aren’t mine, and I just know they’re hers. Like there’s a part of me that I didn’t know existed that just clicked into place one day.” She wasn’t really sure how else to explain it. Mika hissed softly in agreement and encouragement. Apparently it was more or less the same for the little mata mata.

I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
