Yessss, tank buddies! I agree with this. Frameshift is really devoted to his training because, well, he's a hopeless overachiever like that.
You know, I've never spent any time thinking about how long it stays crystallized - he uses blood knives as projectiles more often than not, so it has to stay that way for awhile without his concentration.
Well, he feels that, honestly. He was pretty resentful when he first showed up here. More at the world at large than at the program itself but still. He was extra prickly and ill-tempered, so he would for sure give her some space for awhile.
Yes!! That would be perfect. And, in theory, he believes the same on some level, even if he wishes he weren't a super himself. Like you can't just have assholes out there draining people of blood with their mind for funsies.
