#is how she still needs the pretense Lena is uncopetent and a new management is a good thing

[just-an-enby-lemon]

I like thinking about Gwen being close to Elias in the TMA verse and being creeped out/affected by the body hoping but the more I learn about Gwen the more I lean into a very different idea: what if she actually preffers Jonah?

She and Elias fought a lot, she was disapointed in him, pressured to be better than he was until sudently he comes back as not a failire but someone that can guide her instead. He saw what he needed/what he as a Bouchard deserved and got it and he now is well-read and composed and knows what to do. He is who she wants to be, he is her model.

But at the same time she KNOWS deep down something is wrong, she knows Elias eyes were never gray nor old, she knows Elias changed too much, deep down she knows that the man she is talking to is not her Elias, that there is an impostor, a thing, in her family, but she denies it because it's is unlogical yes, but also because she doesn't want to deal with her guilt, over the knowledge her cousin might still be inside this thing, might have died afraid and alone and she still preffers his torturer.

Until Elias fully fades, Jonah loves to visit Gwen and torment him with this knowledge.
