Learning that your crush likes you too is among the most horrifying forms of relief possible, because it turns a fanciful hypothetical from your head, where it’s safe, into a fast-approaching reality that has all sorts of unexpected variables in the form of this *actual person.* I can’t imagine how much harder the cold water would hit if one was immediately saddled with the suite of expectations implied in panel 3.
As horrifying as it is I’d be willing to give it a shot, I’m much more familiar with the “screw up all your courage and confess and find out your crush doesn’t feel the same way” feeling, and to a lesser degree, “have someone confess strong feelings you don’t reciprocate”.
At least it’s better than lying to a country’s ambassador to try to convince them to enter a seemingly hopeless war as your ally, getting caught, and then murdering them before they can report it to their people and making it look like an enemy act.

… sometimes it’s easy to forget he’s mell kelly ‘s best friend
And he had a front-row seat to the Dave-Helen business.
I believe Ed was referring to Sergio.
Might have been, but that’s still the exact same face Dave makes when he thinks about Helen.
They both are.
So Artie is his own rival? o_O
And if so, will be have to challenge himself to a fuel for Sergio’s hand? What would the Marquis say is the proper form for such a thing?
He’s just one step away from a “Mwahaha-ha-ha-ha-ha!”
He’s got the hand gesture down and everything!
Is liking you for your mirror-universe self as bad in Artie’s books as liking you for your human-self looks?
At least it’s better than lying to a country’s ambassador to try to convince them to enter a seemingly hopeless war as your ally, getting caught, and then murdering them before they can report it to their people and making it look like an enemy act.

For alt-you, Sergio.
I’ve gotta say, two “Mell Kelly’s best friend”s is almost as terrifying a concept as one Mell Kelly.
Well, a few drinks in a sewer full of intelligent rats is still a pretty decent first date…especially with how well this is going.
