Notes:

I'm evil.

I have this headcanon kind of thing where Botta basically "carries" the unfortunate fate of experiencing trauma with near-drowning (NEAR drowning, NEAR, but that's a headcanon for another day) and the resulting PTSD across all the "universes" he could possibly appear in. In other words. When I write him, at some point in his life he has experienced, is current experiencing or will eventually experience some horrifying encounter with deep, dark waters choking the air out of his lungs.

Because I'm evil. :D

I actually rolled a dice for the exact scenario, because I could think of SO MANY, and the dice said "non-canon universe, accident". So. Here we are.

But hey, one more thing he can bond with Raine about, don't you think. I will die on the hill that these two would click so amazingly, to the absolute terror of everyone else. Yes, everything has to be done the hardest, most pedantic way possible, it's just the burden you carry when you're the smartest people in the room at all times, just Superior Smartness Amidst The Plebs. Another story for another day.
