Editing Furcate (section)

====[[Moonsong]]====
Due to Moonsong's prejudices, Furcate's relationship with her was strained. Tristan called Moonsong out for "[making] Furcate more miserable than anyone"; at one point, Tristan noticed Kay crying once after talking to Brianna.<ref>[A18 12:11:47] Cap: a thinly veiled outline of furcates many problems<br/><br/>[A18 12:11:56] Cap: you couldn’t resist saying you didn’t like them<br/><br/>[A18 12:11:23] Moonsong: Are you done?<br/><br/>[A18 12:12:13] Cap: you made furcate more miserable than anyone<br/><br/>[A18 12:12:26] Moonsong: Apparently not<br/><br/>[A18 12:12:29] Cap: you never once tried to understand them just like you never once tried to understand me - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/10/24/glow-worm-0-2/ Excerpt] from [[Glow-worm P.2]]</ref><ref>Tristan could only think about Furcate, sitting on stairs outside, back to the windows, wiping at their face.  It had been after Brianna had said something to them.  He wasn’t sure Byron got it, despite having seen.  That, or that Byron hadn’t wanted to get it.  Willful ignorance. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/09/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 9.y II]]</ref> Kay disliked Brianna and was generally distrustful of her.<ref>He had to move his head to see Furcate’s mask.  “Two huh?  I don’t want to pry, but-”<br/><br/>“You can pry,” Furcate said.  They looked back.  “So long as it’s you, and not you and Moonsong together.”<br/><br/>“Moonsong has your back, Furcate,” Coiffure said.<br/><br/>“She cares about you,” Byron added.<br/><br/>Furcate shrugged. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/09/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 9.y II]]</ref>

Following Furcate's death during Gold Morning, Moonsong stated that she had respected Furcate, despite their tense relationship.<ref name="GW P.2 2">Furcate decided to fight on that monumental day and that says so much when not everyone was brave enough to do that. Furcate was wild and tortured and beautiful. They were a handful and yet they rewarded us with ten positive things for every negative we had to overcome. I’d like to think they got something out of putting up with us in much the same way.<br/><br/>I want what I say here to be honest. I did not get along with Furcate the vast majority of the time. Furcate did not get along with me. I still respected them immensely. They said one word for every thousand the rest of us said and yet they could convey so much in their actions. I keep saying those things, using math like ‘ten times over’, but it’s so very Furcate. They overflowed, they swelled. The cup runneth over. I look back and I’m dazed by how much of a place they found in my heart and my thoughts. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/10/24 Excerpt] from [[Glow-worm P.2]]</ref> Moonsong alleges she held and comforted Furcate as she died, but she nevertheless misgendered her even after her death.<ref name="GW P.2">[A18 12:16:39] Moonsong: I didn’t like furcate. I did love and respect him as a teammate.<br/>[A18 12:16:51] Moonsong: I damn well held him at the end. For a long time. I talked to him the entire time. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/10/24 Excerpt] from [[Glow-worm P.2]]</ref> With Kay's revival Moonsong has improved somewhat.<ref>“Well, I can tell you I’ve been there.  Not as intense as what you got as far as… picking up on what others were saying around me.  But it doesn’t feel like thought control now.  I used to be homophobic.  I’m… better, I guess.  I think it’s a weird thing to do, but I can roll with it.  An old teammate resurfaced, came back from the dead, actually, and reminded me-” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/11/12 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 17.z II]]</ref>
