Nah, I've always had him as reasonably healthy, too. ...Physically. Mental health is still Supremely Questionable, but we work with it.

That... might just make Rean feel worse, honestly. That said, I'm totally on board with that – I want there to be some genuine struggle with him on this. As with canon, Reancolle here laughs off the clearly Worrying things as not being nearly as bad as they are. His reality is that he knows he's quickly reaching the end of his rope on this and that he's burdening his parents by wasting their money on an education he's getting nothing out of, but if you actually ask him about it, he's just "🙃 haha what? I'm fine! Everything's fine!"

Rean Schwarzer, everyone.

Also, right now my very tentative plans are to drive him toward becoming a history teacher (because ah that beautiful future canon reflection), so "pick one thing and learn to teach it" is not far off, maybe!

Crow, listen. He kind of, sort of understands, because Emma is a lovely young woman and they do have their past lives to connect them and all, but... it's just not like that. It's just not.

Emma, he's very sorry about this and he'd be happy to buy you a coffee and walk you home.
