[He'd love to argue the point, but Peter is realizing that won't really help either of them right now.]
Still.

None of us deserved Felfri or what happened there honestly.

Not that I know of? I feel as fine as I can be. Mostly tired.

[ She's worried. Josh only knew Beat lost a memory because he could look into his mind directly. But she decides not to push it. ]

felfri was a huge mess and i'd like to not go back anytime soon

anyway i feel like i should be apologizing to you, for when you found me at the theater

It'd be fine if you know, not rising tensions leading to a war. The tech level was kinda cool.

You didn't plan or even wanna do that, Chiaki. You felt pressured to. I feel like everyone got brainwashed pretty bad over there. Beat nearly fought me at one point.

i felt like a pretty bad superhero for doing that sort of thing

but also i guess the fog's forces were able to help get us home

i don't know it's all sort of confusing

but if you want me to leave WEB for that i'd understand

Being alive here is generally really confusing.

Chiaki, I literally nearly destroyed my own universe one time (well, the me in the future Otto and Norman meet anyway). I think you're fine.

that sounds like a story

I only really know what Norman and Otto told me tbh. So, I'm probably missing some stuff. Okay, maybe a lot of stuff.

Beck revealed on live TV that I was Spider-Man. My life kinda fell apart because of it. So, I like talked to this wizard guy about making people forget I was Spider-Man. The spell went wrong, somehow?? Like, the spell was summoning people who knew I was spider-man to my universe from every other universe with a Spider-Man in it, and it was like making stuff collapse. Not great!

and Otto and Norman showed up because of that. They like tried to kill me apparently, but w/e. They're cool now! Beck is also cool, but kinda cranky. Like a rabid possum you found in an attic.

Apparently I like made a new wish with the wizard guy for everyone to forget who Peter Parker was? IDK what happened after that.

The future is really confusing and weird.

oh i understand some of that. sometimes people who try to kill you are also your friends

[ She can follow that part at least. ]

so this is stuff that's going to happen to you when you go back home?

Honestly kind of wish neither of us would have to deal with that, but we're kinda just stuck with all the weird trauma I guess.

Yeah, it is. I can't change it. I probably should just deal with it, if it means Otto and Norman get to be okay, but...

I'm not super looking forward to it. That's me being selfish tho. I need to live that, so everything will be okay.

i don't really want to lose any friends. if someone i love does something bad, i don't want to just leave them behind. maybe they had a really good reason for it, or maybe they were in trouble.

but i don't know how going home would really work for any of us at this point, you know? i mean, would i even be able to go home or not?

Yeah, same. I just... the murder part is kinda the part I don't like. I don't wanna abandon anyone.

Norman and Otto are both really convinced we'll get home eventually. I don't know how it would work either. I don't know if I wanna go home.

you don't have people at home you're missing? what about MJ?

I miss her, and my best friend Ned... so much. I miss May, I'd technically have her, but... not very long.

When Beck outs me as Spider-Man, all of their lives get worse. Because they know me. I can't make their lives worse, Chiaki.

but you're their friend... even if i knew things were going to get worse, it'd be so much harder without my friends.

If I'm not there, then I won't be outed. If I'm not outed, everyone is safe. The vitriol people apparently turned on me won't happen and splash back on them.

It's... probably stupid, but I don't want them to get hurt. I don't want my aunt to die.

they'll miss you. they won't know what happened, will they?

In the future they forget about Peter Parker because of a spell.

Neither option is good. Its just... a lot.

[ Oh. That does make it complicated.

She supposes that he could still try to be friends with them again, but... on the other hand, she understands the impulse to stay. ]

i'm sorry, peter-kun

but i'm glad i get to be your friend here, at least

Its complicated and weird. I don't quite know how to even fix it.

Thank you. I'm glad to be your friend too. I don't think I'd be me in the same way if you weren't here.

me either.

you make me better. especially with WEB.

bakugo-kun says i'm not a hero or a villain. and maybe he's right.

but i want to do whatever good i can, at least. i want to work harder at it. so i still want to work on WEB with you if that's okay.

Chiaki, you're a hero to me. I know you're always trying to do the right thing, even if its not perfect or doesn't work out. That's what makes you a hero.

Yeah, its more than fine. Even with what happened at Felfri, I wouldn't kick you out of WEB. I know you were being pulled in a lot of directions. I wasn't doing any better either.

[ she's not gonna cry she's not gonna cry

okay maybe a little ]

thanks peter-kun

<3

i'll be back at headquarters soon okay? i think my changes are all done finally so i can help out again

You're welcome. I just... needed you to know.

I'm gonna be checking headquarters on and off, so just tell me whenever you're coming so we can hang out or patrol w/e you want.

Did you change into something else?

no, i'm still a nymph. it just took a while to change back this time. maybe cause the fog's thin? also i had to get rid of all the nanites

The fog being this thin probably would make it harder for everyone to get back to well 'normal'.

Are you okay at least? I can kinda guess nanites wouldn't be great here.
