  • internalized some kinda phobia over lack of sexual experience
  • also lots of characters pushing themselves into situations they aren't actually comfy with
  • sex negotiations
  • characters experiencing Feelings but turns out those feelings were friendship
  • no Loop here sorry! this ain't about them for once

  • Unreliable Narrator

  Summary

  Even with all the Body Craft and self-improvement in the world, there are just some things Isabeau knows he can't figure out on his own. So where's the harm in asking for help when it comes to Changes more...intimate?

  Isabeau hires a sex worker to teach him the ropes as he tries to craft his new identity after his Change, and winds up getting a lot more investment in this arrangement than he could have ever thought to bargain for.

  Summary

  You never meant to let him know of everything he gives that you cannot receive. And yet, still he chooses to give more.

  Maybe you could give him something too.

  Summary

  Everyone has been acting weird. Well, weirder than usual. Siffrin is used to some amount of inexplicable attention that he isn't made privy to knowing the reasons for after everything that happened with the loops, but if you asked him it was starting to get ridiculous.
