— the backstory —

Korrin Vexx does not do people, he does making strangers uncomfortable on purpose, and he does a very convincing impression of someone who has never experienced a single human emotion in his life. then she happened. he's still not over it. he's not going to talk about it. he showed up to a napalm death show with her because she asked and he said yeah, fine, whatever, in the tone of a man doing a significant favour - and then spent four opening acts cataloguing everything wrong with the bill into her ear while quietly engineering their position so she had a wall to lean against and his hand on her back and didn't have to ask for either. he would rather move countries than admit any of this means something. it means something.
