(PreviousAnon on Gregory and Tony)

Yeah, that's all fair enough and I'm sure they have more going on between them then just the mystery thing. I guess I just didn't think Gregory would necessarily have the patience for that or would react more negatively to that kind of treatment. But then he made up and now presumably lives full time with the woman who manipulated and tried to kill him so what do I know. :P

Also doesn't help that I'm looking at as a finite storyline with an eventual conclusion then part of something indeterminate and ongoing.

I havent talked much more in depth about it especially since I havent written anything for it so I'll drop some more for it here for better understanding

gregory was for sure pissed off when he figured it out. he wasted no time confronting tony and needed space away from him so he ignored him. he was less hurt and just more angry that he felt that way, but there were no concrete thoughts like "I'm never speaking to him again"

tony didnt really reach out immediately because he had so much to think about and when he went home had so much to cover in his head. gregory saying that made him realize that he really did feel that way and he shouldnt have and it was wrong. it made him realize he was a bad friend and that was something he had never acknowledged before. in ggy tony is an unreliable narrator and sees himself as always in the right, but this time he thinks about everything hes done in a different light and realizes a lot of it was wrong, but nobody ever really said anything. gregory was the one to call him out and give him that wakeup call, and tony didnt want to be like that anymore after realizing it wasnt fine like he thought it was

after a day or 2 tony reaches out to Gregory after a few failed attempts and Gregory agrees to talk to him (after talking to vanessa and Freddy about it), and that's when tony just kinda goes over the major wake up call Gregory confronting him gave him and how hes sorry and that he thinks he has a bit more to sort through regarding his dad (understatement)

so maybe it doesnt get resolved perfectly and Gregory doesn't 100% forgive and forget, but he understands that tony made a mistake and theres no reason to hate him if he learned from it. after that it's a lot of thinking and working for tony and he actually talks to his family and to ellis and changes his way of seeing things and it's hard to just drop all of it but hes trying because he knows it's what he needs to do. they continue being friends and eventually time heals all wounds and they become better friends because of it
