“What a mess we’ve gotten ourselves into, huh?” Tenna sighs again, dragging his hands down his screen to land in his lap. “I think I’m just… tired. I don’t want to be mad at you anymore, Spam, I…” Tenna pauses for a long moment, screen fizzing with snow. Carefully, Spamton scoots across the cushions to sit next to him, reaching out a tentative hand to rest against Tenna’s clasped palms. “One more question, for tonight,” Tenna murmurs through the static. “If… if you knew what was gonna happen to me, and you wouldn’t have told me anyway, then… why did you agree to that deal at all?” And really, isn’t that just the question of the night? Spamton hums quietly, static-filled and bit-crushed. Why did he agree? The answer— the true answer, plain and pure— is devastatingly simple: “because I loved you.” Of course, he can’t bring himself to say it in quite those words. Still, he tries to find something close. — Or, Spamton should've known— all secrets come out eventually.
