Re: Milkshake Bar: Ren & Alex
"Yeah, some people helped out, painted the place an' got some posters for the wall. Gotta couple gift cards for Christmas so I have a neat futon and like an actual kitchen table, stuff like that." Shiloh had called it depressing, when he'd seen Alex's place like that, and he wasn't wrong. Alex had been living in his bedroom because it was basically the only place he could sit.
Alex knew what it was like to live every day of your life being watched. And in reality, not just the paranoia of the possibility. And to be dragged out every few days like a favorite toy, experimented on, and put back until the next time. That was the life Repose had erased for him, so for better or worse, this was home now. "I mean, it's probably nothing special, or it wouldn't be if not for the weird shit but...the people here are great." He went heavy on the whipped cream and added more sprinkles before taking a sip. "Holy shit that's good," he said with a surprised laugh.
