Near is going to be more accommodating and agreeable and social for Love's revival.

Possibly following random people around just because he feels like it and things are great.

He is DEFINITELY going to follow Mello around. Because FAVOURITE PERSON.

(Near, get better standards.)

Lol

I ship it

Oh. And he will be hoarding stuffed animals because of course he will.

They're not quite his thing, usually, but hey. They're toys, and he's going to be less of a shit, so.

No word of a lie, he will follow people down the street white holding a pink plush bear with absolutely no shame.

As for the big, arc-ending event . . .

I am leaning strongly toward putting him on side B precisely because he is so spectacularly unsuited for it.

And will need to latch onto some suckers kind souls in order to make it out alive.

And he'll get to be all miserable and junk, which is fun.

Have fun with Near trailing after you while clutching a pink teddy bear, Mello. That's not embarrassing at all.

He has no shame.

Let's face it, he'd do it without shame even if he weren't in first place.

But he's being so nice to Mello, Sharon!

... You know, this would be a great opportunity for Sharon to find out about Near's weird toy obsession.

Yesssss

"I worked especially hard on yours, see?"

omg yes please god could you get weirder and more childlike?

And "Whyyyyyyy does Mello feel inferior to this freak???"

She certainly doesn't get it but she amounts it to his childhood trauma and need to be better. It's better he have weird friends than no friends!
