Stay in Touch

Summary:

Arcade gives Fern a flip phone so they can talk even when he’s too busy to visit.

Hopefully staying in touch this way is enough to keep Fern from going insane.

Chapter 1: This is how you send a message

Notes:

This is just for fun! Idk how it’ll end, idk how frequent I’ll write, or how long it’ll be.

Hope you enjoy it all the same.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Notes:

it’s gonna be an interesting challenge to convey plot/character development using only the time they spend apart.

It’s gonna be fun though.
