The slow burn in Soft Launch is killing me 🥹🥹 I know, I know - that's the point but I was gnawing on everything in my reach at every chapter!

Also, y/n is stronger than me cause sleeping next to Samu for a whole week straight and not climbing him?? strong Queen shit right there 🤌

Mirka THANK YOU!!! 🩷

i'm really glad you're saying that because sometimes i'd catch myself thinking "is this too much? is this slow burn burning too slowly??" but the answer is no, it's just right because what is a slow burn if it isn't a little frustrating to witness uwu

What's everyone's reaction to a hug?

Rey: "Please get off." (She will tolerate small physical interaction, but she can't stand hugs.)

Elise: "..." (She'll look at you in silence, like you're crazy, but won't do anything to stop you. She will leave directly afterward, if exiting is possible.)

Hana: "What's this for? Are you alright?" (He'll assume something is wrong if you say nothing beforehand. He'll always hug back, though.)

Riiv: [Towards someone he knows well.] "Oh, well hello!" (He will hug back.) [Towards someone he doesn't know as well.] "Get the fuck off." (He will attack if the person continues.)

Zver: "Are you requesting to die?" (He will act polite, but if you choose to stick around, he'll stay true to his words.)

Mirka: "Oh-?" (She will hug back cautiously, treating you as though you are made of glass.)

Misty: "No thanks! Haha!" (She will disappear in a puddle of... tar? Goop? She only accepts hugs from Riiv.)

Anika: "Awh, that's sweet, dear!" (She will happily accept the hug, and if you both are in a good mood, she may pick you up and twirl you around.)

Alok: "No." (He may act in violence at any attempt at a hug. He despises acts of affection.)

Nuebi: "Calculating intent..." (They will begin scanning you for weapons or injuries. They will not push you off, but they will not hug back unless requested verbally.)

Nano: [Same response as Nuebi.]

Del: "hu...gs!" (He would hug you back and, if the hug lasts longer, he'll start making vibrations similar to purring. Slight glimpses of his extra mouths will be visible.)

Evo: "Hah...?" (He'll pat your back nervously, disliking this interaction.

Mar: "The hell?" (He'll force you off, and if you persist, he'll leave.)

Apex: "Prrm?" (He'll hug you back and start making a purring sound, and may hug you too tightly if you don't remind him to be gentle.)

Dizzy: "..." (You will suddenly find yourself without the desire to hug her.)

Mavik: "An odd action, you do." (He will not understand what you're doing, but will appreciate... whatever it is.)

Staraptor: "..." (She'll turn your insides to outsides. Never touch her.)

Firecracker: "Ahahahaha! A hug? Wow! Woah!" (Your eardrums may burst, but that's only a small price to pay for a hug.)

Zendaya: "Co děláš?" [Translated from Czech: "What are you doing?"] (She won't understand why you're doing this but will accept the hug without returning it.)
