idk i just

...by the way genesishe lights before they died, i'm sorry for the lack of real entities in this book- also, cole's grandma makes a debut, so if you see a character called "grandma" that's her :3

genesis doesn't get a grandma because both his grandmas are dead 👏👏👏

Grandma: I thought you'd be smarter with your decisions.

Grandma: You boys tell me you're going to just walk around and somehow end up in the makeup section of Walmart for fun, with no idea on how a single drop of foundation words.

Grandma: And you never thought to ask me. You could've at least done your research!

Cole: ...well, that wasn't the reaction I was expecting.

Grandma: Boy, do you want to get grounded instead?

~

Cole, to Genesis: Got your nose.

Genesis: ...

Cole: ...

Genesis: Were you expecting a reaction?

Cole: The last time I did that, you almost cried.

Genesis, sputtering: The last time you did that, we were EIGHT!

Genesis: Y'know what would be funny is if I decided to show up to school in a skirt.

Cole: Well, if you want, why not?

Genesis: I said if, I'm not actually going to do that.

Cole: ...

Genesis: ...I would have if my dad would let me.

Genesis, pointing to a pencil: Can I eat that?

Cole: No.

Genesis, pointing to a sheet of paper: Okay, what about that?

Cole: Also no.

Genesis, pointing to an eraser: Okay, then, what about-

Cole: You can have my cookie at lunch but do not eat those, you uncharged Sega Genesis.

Genesis: But I'm hungry!!!!

(so there's actually lore for ^this one, genesis's dad was fucking neglecting and even forgot to get himself food, so clearly genesis and the twins i never mentioned in this wouldn't get enough food! yay, more trauma!)
