Kevin has just seen the Ravens’ retaliation with the parking lot and the cars and watched Neil talk Andrew down from strangling Allison so I posit at least one of these three things is happening here (probably more is happening I imagine Kev’s head is a shitshow after that oh honey)
1: Kevin has been reminded of the day he met Nathaniel Wesninski and is trying to reconcile Neil’s face with
a) tiny Nathaniel, or
b) The Butcher of Baltimore (ouch, Kevin)
2: Kevin is trying to picture who Neil might have been if Riko had never got his claws in him
he’s just seen Neil take charge and show an impressive spine
(Kevin must be goddamn terrified right now but Neil. Neil survived Riko still fighting)
(what does he have that Kevin doesn’t)
(Kevin honey you’re so brave I promise, you’re fighting too)
“you should be Court”
not to mention Neil showing his moral fiber by refusing to give away Andrew’s secrets
3: Kevin is bisexual
how do I deal with above confused mess of emotions?
The football players were having a party the same time the Exy players where, so, the two parties ended up combining, for better or worse…
Some how, Kevin found himself talking to a football jock. Tall, buff, probably called Chad, caucasian.
Chad’s like “what’s the deal with girls being on your team? Isn’t your sport, like, super violent?”
“All genders play Exy together, that’s how the game was created” says Kevin.
“Yeah, but, like, you don’t know that.”
Kevin just… blinks at him and goes “I’m sorry?”
“You can’t actually know for sure that’s how the guys who made Exy wrote the original rules, man, people probably just put girls in with the boys so that-”
He stops, because Kevin’s face has gone purple.
“Idon’t know?” Kevin says. “I don’t know? I don’t know?”
Nicky’s being listening in the whole time and now he feels like he needs to get everyone to an underground bunker.
Chad’s laughing like “dude, calm the fuck down.”
“You’re saying that I have no idea what the intention of the creators were even though one of them was my own mother?”
Chad stares at him blankly. Then says, “your mom created Exy?”
Nicky grabs Aaron by the arm and drags him under the nearest table, just as Kevin explodes.
“DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO THE HELL YOU’VE BEEN TALKING TO? DOES IT NOT OCCURE TO YOU THAT I HAVE A BIG-ASS CHESS PIECE TATTOOED ON MY FACE?”
“What the fuck do I care about some dumb tat?”
“ARE YOU SAYING YOU DON’T KNOW WHO I AM?”
“Should I?”
Kevin picks up the nearest bottle and smashes it over his head.
