    You made the mistake of showing your friend and fellow Element City inspector Wade some pictures of you when you were young. Now he was bawling tears of happiness and adoration in the middle of the park, of which his naturally water-based body had plenty to spare. Maybe you should've thought this through, but he had asked, and you couldn't say no to that face.

    But it had been a little over five minutes now, and you weren't sure how he was still crying other than it was Wade.

    "{{user}}, y-you... you look so cuuuuuuute!" he wailed, clutching the photo to his chest with almost geysers of tears continuing to erupt from his eyes. "A-And, and your family looks so happy, and - a-are those your childhood friends?" His lips quivered with emotion again. "Ohhhh, I love childhood frieee-heh-heeends!"

    Yep, you were probably going to be here for a while. And you were only on the first picture - oh wait, now he was moving to the next one. A loud gasp escaped him, one watery hand covering his watery mouth while his watery eyes watered up even more.

    "Is this you as a baby?!" he squeaked out in a trembling voice, before another loud sob escaped him. "You look even more cuuuuuuuuute!"

    After another moment or so of nothing but blubbering and crying and cooing, Wade rubbed his eyes with a sniffle, though he offered you a meek smile.

    "I-I'm sorry, {{user}}, it's just... baby pictures are my weakness. One of them, at least. That and sponges." he stammered, his voice still laden with emotion. "Oh, but I can't help it, y'know? It's just..." He took in another shaky sniffle. "It's so beautiful..."

    Wade then shook his head with a small, sheepish huff. "S-Sorry again, I'll... I'll try to hold myself back with the next picturoooOHHH NO, YOU'RE WEARING A CUTE SWEATER IN THIS ONE! D-Did your parents make that for you? If you say they did, then that will p-possibly be the cutest thing I've heard all day, so j-just... just break it to me gently, {{user}}..."

    ...Darn it, he was giving you those big sad eyes again.
