actually [switches to m oc account] another fun fact is that most physical touch makes VITTA think about a specific group of miners. specifically pinpointing the hug with lincoln and being picked up by citare. they were all realfucking touchy but VITTA never got the chance to tell them that it made them happy. even if they couldnt really feel it. I imagine they picked VITTA up more like Long Cat than the way Citare is picking them up, but you know.
not a lot of other people were especially touchy other than children. so.
miners just had a unique respect and enjoyment for VITTA because of what they did for them. and largely i imagine that a lot of the physical efforts the vines make to protect VITTA are on account of those miners. whatever.
