#but it still like. you know that feeling? that feeling that everntually everyone leaves? and even when people leave just for a moment

hey post finale with number two and rhonda off to the airshows, milligan most likely spending his time with kate (for obvious reasons) and the other kids off to their own places (sticky to boatwright academy, reynie to miss perumal) that leaves mr. benedict and constance pretty much like. i wouldn’t say alone, but like, more in each other’s company than not? (although to be fair, i believe it was pretty much implied milligan lived with the rest of them at the house, so kate and him might just be there, but they’d still likely be spending a lot of time together--although--i’ll get to that in a second)
i just like. they’re not really at the point they’re at in the books where there’s a proper relationship there. there main interactions have been in episodes one and two, where she doesn’t trust him (fair) and he’s telling them about this whole ideally not deadly mission. her declining the adoption is probably part that--despite the fact i think constance probably trusts him/likes him more than she lets on, he’s still someone she doesn’t actually Know That Well--and part just generally “let’s not paper this” her experience being distant with adults and adults generally not being trustworthy and so on so like.
them getting to know each other. both like, as father and daughter vibes, and as people, like. learning each other’s favorite breakfast foods, or sense of humor (we’ve already got that a bit lol), and like just. talking about things, books, poetry, etc. bonding.
like just, the reality of living together and talking daily rather than just this sort of meeting in a dangerous situation thing, like. actually getting to know each other beyond each of them just having a good judge of character
(on an unrelated note, if kate and milligan are just There it is pretty funny that the two who probably got along the least, although they started communicating more at the end there, are the ones living together. reynie and sticky come back and find they’ve formed a terrifying alliance)
#not necessarily as an angst thing but also i'd imagine that like#mr benedict has been used to being around milligan rhonda and no2 for a while and now they're all off doing their own things#and you know he's been there before#but he's not alone! it's temporary! and more than that he has constance!#and constance she's used to being alone#but lately she'd gotten used to the society#'as annoying as they are' she might sniff#but like. she'd. 'gotten used' to them#and now they're off doing their own thing again#and even tho both of them are very aware that this is temporary and they'll meet again#actually not sure about constance but i imagine past the sort of#acclimization to new life#the kids would keep in touch even if there was no new mission (which logically there wouldn't be but kate did say something about it once)#id go more into that but tag limit. anyway. the point is they're both aware that they haven't lost anyone#but it still like. you know that feeling? that feeling that everntually everyone leaves? and even when people leave just for a moment#and you know they're coming back. you get that feeling. what if they dont?#yeah that.#but like they have each other! it's not the same but it's nice and prevents any wallowing#the mysterious benedict society#man this went in like five different directions
