was thinking of doing a durge AU run with rethan bc they already are an assassin to begin with and it would honestly fit but then i thought about how the only trust they had left was in themself and as durge they would lose even that. which would honestly fuel their self-hatred to a level where they would never let themself imagine a positive future which means they would never end up with gale which. uurrhhrghhhhh taking psychic damage thinking about it
