(is it okay if I or Sair add a separate TL for Red Son getting smashed and showing up at Saya's place on the 30th, when we get to that, or do you prefer we inbox it?

Good news though, Sair and I already figured out something for MK and Red Son getting past this at Saya's party. So she's gonna basically help them getting together without lifting a finger.
I was thinking she'd probably press Red Son about it actually... but she would have been wobbly about that anyway since it requires her basically blurting out shit MK told her in confidence and none of that felt good. So I'll have her consider it and then just stop short.
with an internal BUT THIS IS NOT GOING ON ANOTHER MONTH, if it gets down to the next full moon and the curse is still a thing she's PRESSING IT. (It won't be thankfully)
as Saya idly considers whether she should have just shut up and gone to sleep instead of making Red Son like her lmao, this woman makes the most sense at all times
Not so much. In his mind as, an outside observer, the first weremonkey disaster made it perfectly honest how MK thought of Red Son. So while he doesn't blame him for his choice to be with Saya, he does for Red Son doing it in a way that really didn't seem to factor in MK's feelings.
also this "be with Saya" stuff really bothers her, she has like 5 different specifically romantic partners, it's not like this walls Red Son off for all time
a point which she paused her "omg I got cured!" happy moment for specifically to reassure MK that it was the case and she has no desire to impede him and Red Son
Wukong will probably guess that was what happened with Red Son, but as a forever-alone enlightened being...he's biased toward MK's overtly fragile feelings.
Cole also been telling MK he needed to tell before it was too late. His could-have-been boyfriend waited too long and stuff happened that meant they couldn't be together. He ended up telling Cole during a point Cole was regressed mentally almost to being eight, because he knew it couldn't happen.

I'm probably stating the obvious here but just so you know how to structure the soccer ball tag before Saya does her thing, it would have to look like she's actually saving Red Son from getting seriously hurt, she wouldn't charge in there to save anyone's dignity
she's anticipating Red Son losing it on her a little, but so be it. She and MK understand each other about this. She really should have stepped in sooner but she was hoping it wouldn't be necessary ;;;
I'm hoping she can unload on Wukong about this after the thread is all tied up, by which I mean lead with massive guilt for being the source of MK's misery. Logic!!
yeah but he's seldom being reeeeeeally dumb about his reasoning the way Saya does. Her side of these matters is more or less "don't you see? If I just didn't exist none of this would have happened!" (Or in this case if I just went to sleep like a good vampire queen)
Oh yes. Especially when one of them is super skittish about closeness and the other is slowly moving away from the "I can only rely on me" learned outlook.
I mean she's not going to say that, she knows how hard relationships in general are for him and his MK/Mei stuff in particular, it'll just be in her head
Really its more he says the stuff because he trusts Saya to listen because he didn't have a whole lot of that, this is why he trauma dumps on random strangers sometimes when he's having a Day
Reasons Red Son doesn't love Saya just because he can trauma dump on her: That is a trauma he took on for her and proceeds to just Never Talk About because he doesn't want to make her feel bad about it
I can't lie I sort of want Saya to fight the weremonkey even if no one else does, it'll be the only time she'd need to break out her entire playbook of tricks
I will say, Red Son probably won't stay out of any fight with Saya and MK because Red Son is like 'doki doki kaiju fighting Azure' and 'ABSOLUTELY FUCKING TERRIFIED AT KAIJU FIGHTING SAYA'

What a stupid question, why else would I train twelve hours a day?
