i love that we get canon demisexual representation in essek

big same! funny you messaged me now, i was just discussing that with the lads. i’m personally very attached to the reading that essek wasn’t romantically or sexually attracted to caleb for a very long time (unlike caleb to essek!) and specifically only fully realized his romantic feelings towards caleb when caleb destroyed the t-dock; so to me, it’s very nice to have some meta commentary that would indirectly support this interpretation.
