Amazing, the amount of angst here is great, lol

-

Also, Tio would probably be aware that he can't fix the problem, not that he won't try, but his main goal will just be to protect Rev from more exposure to toxicity than he already has... At first, at least.

And I wish Revan luck pushing these two away, he managed to get into a relationship with probably two of the most stubborn people in the world, lmao

Haha- Yeah... What's that at first mean??

-

Good luck indeed... Only when the two continue to refuse to leave/be pushed away and his mother keeps on being the toxic and abusive woman that she is... Revan will look towards more, uh, permanent means of removing himself from their lives in order to keep them safe and happy.

Uhhh, well, you see, Tio can get a little... Overbearing? If he sees that his gentle, careful tactics aren't working. He gets paranoid and basically just won't let Revan out of his line of sight if he senses any possibility of him hurting himself, physically or otherwise. In this process, he'll probably reject Nico a bit as well and basically tunnel vision on Rev.

-

That... Won't end well... For anyone-

The overbearing nature wouldn't end up good for anyone- Revan would end up getting even more prone to lashing out, and would actually probably like- Do whatever it takes to get away. Lock doors, lash out, withdraw, and even leaving the base if possible. Like, Horatio following him everywhere? That's no good, Tio's definitely going to get hurt! He's got to get away from him!

-
It definitely won't. It'll just cause even more problems. Especially since Revan will be in a sort of state that's like- He doesn't want to do it, but he feels like he has to, that it's the only way to keep people safe from him and to give his mother closure for all the deaths that he's already caused.

Mhmm, Mira will probably get upset at Tio if she catches on to what's happening because he's done it to her before too, and it actually made her situation worse. And at that point, Nico will probably feel completely abandoned and just be grasping at any small thing they can get to not be completely alone again.

-

God, yeah.

How much worse would it be if Nico responded with something along the lines of "If you're going down, I'm going to follow." Because... Yeah. That's probably what'd end up happening-

Revan would thank Mira for the help. Like- He cannot deal with Tio breathing down his back. It'd feel too much like his mother and then there's the stuff I already mentioned too, haha

Nico has friends like Aries and Briar to help a bit at least lmao

-

Oh no- Revan would probably like.. Literally just run away at that point. He wouldn't be able to go through with what he'd planned, but he also would just be immediately convinced that he's allowed them to get too close and that if he stays then they'll die. He'd lash out, withdraw, pack up, and leave. Anyone that tries to stop him? He's lashing out and even threatening them. If he grabbed a gun before he leaves, he's totally threatening to shoot. And frankly, he probably would. At least shoot in a way that would make them unable to follow him, to try to stop him.

Soooo, probably should hope Nico isn't the one to find him to try and stop him XD

Mira would just be like "Sure, babes, I get it, just let me know if he gives you more trouble, okay? Also, though, it'd be good to let him help a little, doing shit by yourself isn't always as nice as it seems."

Yeah, true, Briar's gonna be all over Nico as a hype man until things get a little better again, lmao

-

Oh, great, yeah, maybe have someone else find him in that case XD

Revan, who would immediately begin to withdraw at the end of that would be very much rolling his eyes, scoffing, and just overall not believing her for one moment.

-

Haha, yeah... Not sure who- Maybe Micha honestly? I feel like that could be interesting lmao

Yeah, I was honestly thinking the same thing. M's delt with depression and a lot of self blame over putting his mom and Niki in the way of his father's abuse and he only really managed to get out of that headspace because of Kage and because his dad got dragged out of the picture (also because of Kage-), so that could be interesting. He also wouldn't be very effected by the lashing out because, one, he struggles to take any hostility to heart after seeing that someone is struggling and, two, he's had a similar breakdown before where he basically shoved everyone out in order to keep them safe (granted, he pushed everyone away differently, but still-).

Point being, M would have a much less panicky reaction than most, he'd stay calm through it and talk rationally to try to help out... We love having a mentally stable person that's also good at emotional communication! XD

Yeah- Micha having dealt with that kind of headspace before would definitely be helpful. Revan's most likely not going to lash out at that point though- Mostly just withdraw.

Micha would be a great help at that point, given how he knows how to communicate. Meanwhile Revan is completely lacking in that respect. The only ways of communication he knows and is good at are bitter/angry/toxic and business.
