Summary
Tubbo waits, still swallowing his own heart, for the other shoe to drop. For a noise inside, a voice, for the ruse to run up. For Quackity to say the thing that damns him.
He knows, Tubbo is thinking. He saw everything.
But Quackity doesn’t say that. The only words he says are, “I mean, it’s your head though. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
( — or, one night in manberg. )

Thirty-two stitches.
That’s how many they needed, to fix his face after Technoblade was done with it. Thirty-two, and when the doctor tells him that — barely lucid, still floating delirious from the anesthesia and blind from the bandages over his eyes — he remembers saying with a clumsy tongue, “That sounds excessive.”
-- quackity takes off his bandages for the first time.

Summary
“I bottle shit up,” Tubbo says. “Ranboo—fucking, emotional repression or whatever the hell it’s called. Ranboo said it. Says it’s a problem. But you know what? You’ve got the same problem. Anything shit happens to you, and you just shut down and pretend it’s not happening.”

Summary
“I don’t think it’s strictly a difference of who was the better person,” Tubbo goes on. He hops between what’s real, what will make Quackity happy to hear, and settles in the middle on something that will get them both home safe. “Well, okay. Yeah, I’m better than Schlatt. I think there’s pieces of everybody, though.”
“Everybody’s in pieces.”
What a way with words. “Yeah, that too. We’re all just pieces.”
— (or, quackity’s drunk, tubbo’s driving, and schlatt’s got a reflection in every dark window.)

Summary
Through it all, Quackity can’t read Tubbo’s expression. Which is a way to read Tubbo itself, because here’s the thing – Tubbo misleads. He does it, subtly, in the way that makes you think you’re following, that you’ve caught what he’s covering up, but that’s the part he does on purpose. He leaves you a crumb, and you latch onto it, eat it up, and he acts like you’ve caught him. And Quackity watches Tubbo laugh, watches him crack a joke with Wilbur, and he knows better than to think he’s caught anything about Tubbo.
It’s what makes Tubbo such a good leader. It’s what makes him a good spy.
It’s what makes Quackity know that neither of them have left Manberg. Not all the way.
-- quackity visits tubbo over his lunch break. they don't talk about anything.

Summary
Wilbur looks at him and thinks, you are not who you used to be. It sits a little funny, the cool way Quackity’s eyes narrow at him. The distrust, concentrated and cold.
“You’ve changed, Big Q,” he says. This Quackity isn’t even wearing his beanie.
“And you’re exactly the same,” Quackity swipes back.

Summary
“I fucked up,” Quackity says, quieter now, “With Karl and Sapnap. I’m gonna fuck up with you. I’m probably gonna keep doing that, over and over, til I die. And I guess it’s more fair to give you the warning now than to let you hope things are gonna work out for us.”
Wilbur says, “I think–that sounds less like fucking up, and more like maybe you just don’t like being in a relationship.”
