I don’t think Puddle is really good for Threnody as a partner; they both have problems that kind of exacerbate each other. But damn if Threnody having a gay panic isn’t cute.
Rereading Speak again recently and decided to do up some of the tarot cards Dealer shows Threnody, starting off with The Hermit. I thought it’d be a neat bit of foreshadowing if the card was set in the Red Forest!!
