Note: So, #10 is coming up, so tell me, do want, a) the vanilla latte episode, b) the "I'd notice" episode, or c) the KISS episode? And about this moment...well, I'm not a big Ava fan, so this one may be a bit bias (ya know, like a true Addex shipper, lol). Yeah, not my favorite. And...if you haven't, b/c I'm a pimp master, check out the fic I posted last night The Sound of White. R&R, Enjoy.


He's so dedicated to her. To Jane Doe, to Ava. She's so astounded by his devotion to the woman he saved from a wreckage, that sometimes she'll stand back and just observe.

Now, there is a couple claiming to be Jane Doe's parent, and Addison sees Alex fighting between hope and slight disappointment. Jane Doe has become the human touch he's not afraid to flinch away from, but realistically, it is because she has no history to make and shape ethics to accordingly judge others. Aside from her ability to speak, Jane Doe is like a fresh newborn, unaware of evils and human intentions. Realistically, Alex likes thinking there is a connection because she sees everything in white and black, nothing in between for her perception of him to be skewered.

Addison sees this, and it touches her how Alex can be so optimistic at times, like the kid he never allows himself to be.

She likes to think that unlike with his Jane Doe, she and Alex have a real connection. Maybe he is afraid of that, because he knows she can see right through him at times. Maybe he prefers holding onto something that can be let go easily, rather than something that might have to let go severely. But she wants a chance to be his Addison. Why won't he just take the risk?
