[ Offering a SINGLE piece of popcorn to the READER; not the whole bowl, he's curious how they'll respond. ]
"..." A long pause-- and he blinks, confused--
Why did it... matter so much, that he was so angry? He never got to be angry. Ever-- not at anyone other than himself. He almost wants to get defensive, and yet... he just doesn't have the energy, seeing Wade worry.

The open arms make him hesitate.
It's not that Andreas doubts he deserves to be comforted. Anyone does, but-- it's the fact that Wade is so clearly upset, even if it's not AT him, but FOR him. Shouldn't Andreas be telling him it's alright, just a long day, etc.?

//what emotionally destroys me about this is that andreas would INSTANTLY find five millions ways to make it his own fault 💔💔💔 so ur spot on goddamn-- also AHHGHG
[ @DIVINGSPIDEY ]
“I know that look… you’re thinking this is… your fault…
It isn’t. You didn’t do anything wrong… all you did was keep me company… and let me say goodbye…”
... He's extremely happy to know that's touched someone-- anyone, really-- that he loves. Andreas has always tried his best to show others his best side, because it's what they all deserve.
This all gets him a wide, sunny smile!
[ @DIVINGSPIDEY ]
Tim finds few things as endearing as kindness. Andreas holds a kindness that few people can ever dream of achieving.
[ That makes him smile... Another reason to keep doing it, huh? He's very gentle. ]
... is this okay? i uh, just kinda didn't know how to stop, haha. but i can.
[ A soft rumble in his chest... He's purring, content to continue this for as long as Kieran will let him. ]
mm... i like doing it, so, good.
Andreas, in his anger, has kicked the head off a dummy-- and only stops to breathe when the pixelated digital blood has stopped flowing.
Why the dummies have blood is still beyond his reckoning, but whatever.
He staggers back, huffing-- and notices Wade.
"... Yeah..?"
