Ethan = Lucas’s platonic life partner? It fits.

Wait, wait, wait… Since when does Ethan use glasses? Or are those window glass just to make him look smarter?

Well if he’s anything like the other Ethan, he puts them on thinking that add an intelligence modifier. And he will eventually become frustrated when that doesn’t happen.

Or the psychosomatic effect is so powerful he actually gets an intelligence boost.

Perhaps he’s needing them now due to lack of respawning, can only imagine that his respawns also reset back to when eyes were good too and now because he’s not respawning maybe he’s needing to use them.

Or he thinks it’s something he’s meant to do so he pretends

Some people have the ability to make a situation so quickly so awkward that it’s almost as if they dropped a bomb in the middle of the room. Ethan….Ethan is the nuclear option.

Ethan’s real superpower – weapons grade nuclear awkwardness.

You joke, but I know people who legitimately do this intentionally to put people on the back foot, so to speak.

I’m convinced that Ethan is actually incredibly intelligent, but his mind races way too fast for him to make good use of it.

Ben: “Counteroffer: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are yours, Friday, Saturday and Sunday mine. Jives with work hours. Option to +1 on weekdays if invited, can cook.”

Seems fair, at least for the first year or two, then the holidays thing needs to be discussed again

Yeah, divie them up appropriately, as it depends on the holiday.
Valentines’? Ben.
Wintereenmas? Ethan.
Christmas? You can divide it between Eve and Day. Don’t know what Ben’s family situation is like, but if he has a major gathering on one of the two, that day takes preference for custody.

Plenty of little things and room for joint celebrations. Revisited every year or two as things change over time.
