Maybe I was just tired of using the accent tonight....

It's the first time Tad has talked about Bertha's death.

Time line Tad has divulged since he first showed up:
1 year old: Father went back to Iowa to visit grandma. Got a letter from Tad's mother to not come back.
6 year old: Tad's first in-patient stint. I don't THINK I've said what caused this yet? Maybe. I do know what caused it.
13 year old: Tad met Doe.
14 year old: Tad came out as trans.
14.5 year old: Doe was killed. Three hunters killed.
15: Tad lost his best friend, Marcus. Second in-patient stint. Missed dissection unit in biology class.
16: Grandmother died. Tad's in charge. Tad starts dating Tommy.
17: Bertha is killed by Marcus, Terry, and Sean (Tommy's brother). All three die.
18: Tommy and Tad break up. 
24: David starts stalking Tad.
25: Tad sics his dad on David. David and his sister both die.
26: Tad's dad gets sick. Tommy dedicates the song to him on Tad's 27th birthday (though that's a detail I haven't said).
27: Tad kills his dad. Shows up in Los Santos. Has a mental breakdown.

The sleep disorders really muddy the waters on whether or not Tad is a reliable narrator of his own life (most people aren't). I know, of course. But nobody else should ever be sure. 

I had a lot of lore written before I got accepted to the server. But it's all sort of rough outlines. I tend to have to rewatch the talks when I tell a story to take notes so I'll remember the details. For the most part, the details are the same. But hopefully I've figured out how to tell the stories a little differently depending on which version of Tad is talking and who he's talking to. And why. Why is the big one. He's told the doe story 3 times now. To Saini it just came out. He didn't intend to tell her. With Jojo, he told her with the intention to give her the information she might need in order to help him. With Sneaky (who was paying close attention) and Twinkles (who may not have actually been paying attention), he would have preferred to give the bare bones version. Just enough to understand the situation. Tad's been a yapper for the past two months. But he's been mostly quiet for a decade before that. So he's sick of his own voice and wishes he had ever learned to be more concise.

The song Tommy dedicated to him:
