[ no you won’t slips into his thoughts, quiet and brutal. acxa’s reality is a huge question mark, so it’s difficult for shiro to reference it too much for hope; all he knows is that from what he’s seen, no team is looking for him. understandable, he supposes, when there’s something wearing his face and issuing orders in his voice. he hates that there’s resentment every time he thinks of that. the feeling is slight and nothing with any strength to tarnish the way he values everyone of team voltron but… no one noticed. no one saw anything indistinguishable between him and the clone. there had to be something to set them apart. shiro only saw glimpses from black but the erratic leadership should have been more concerning, right?
not their fault. in their shoes, shiro would have likely fallen for the act too. they were scared and stressed, ( briefly ) mourning a loss while shuffling lions around and trying to relearn how to be a team. maybe they didn’t want to see anything wrong in this new shiro, in fear of ushering in more destabilization. ]
I know you’ll try your best. [ and do what they think is right. he opens his eyes and stares up at the ceiling, briefly mulling over the idea of simply telling her. about the clone and about how keith says that thing may have successfully destroyed the team. but the prospect is quickly abandoned. memories from here to there don’t carry over, so what purpose is there in unloading that on her? it’ll only confuse her. sounds a lot like his justification of keeping his identity secret from her the first time around.
nonetheless, he keeps quiet about the clone, having no real desire to talk about it. instead, he settles on a different cautioning. ]
It’s going to be difficult, the coming phoebs in our universe. It’s important that the six of you watch out for each other. [ she won’t remember -- he keeps reminding himself that but maybe some, small part of him hopes at least this will stick somehow. ] Keith takes it especially hard… so promise me you’ll keep an eye on him for me?
