Cater having a really bad depressive episode to the point where he is using his um way to much to keep up with the cay-cay people want to see

Cater getting to the point he can’t even bring himself to make a clone bc people find him annoying anyway right? So he’s probably doing them a favor by not showing up

Riddle, tray and the light music club being some of the only ones that pick up on caters overuse of his clones until one day he just doesn’t show up at all and going to check on him

I live for angst and have chosen my next victim for when I temporarily run out of ideas to torment cater with 😈

Me, worried for the next victim:

i jest, i jest, we all love a good bunch of angst, I'm preferencial to humor and fluff myself tho.

As such, I like to think that Cater does get a lot of support from Trey in particular. They are pretty close, they were roommates up until their third-year, so Trey has a good grasp on Cater and his moods. Riddle is very perceptive of his dorm members, even if he's only been around for a year. Normal he'd be furious about Cater ditching, but by now he's a bit more (just a bit) mellowed out. Trey explains to him what's going on and while he's pushing for Cater to see the nurse (lord knows that Crowley doesn't pay for a counselor), he's instead offering to get Cater his missed work and speaking to the profressors on his behalf. After all, he cares for his dorm members and Cater is no exception.

I imagine that only Lilia really notices that he's using the clones, Kalim is so sweet but not nearly as perceptive. He doesn't wish to intrude, but Lilia has both seen and experiences first hand how bad depressive episodes can be. Cater finds snacks and notes left for him in his room after leaving for the bathroom, writing in Lilia's hand writing with a kind reminder that he is cared for and only his presence is really needed for people to enjoy him for him. Kalim managed to convince Lilia to also sneak in a plushie that he swears up and down that is a cure for all bad feelings (it's his parrot plushie that he's had since a kid).

Idk, he's got depresso espresso, but he's also got good friends. It'll take time for him get better and it may never really go away, which is why I'm now going to threaten Crowley with arson so that he'll hire a therapist and counselor brb-
