WCDT strips 4271-4275 (25th - 29th May 2020)
BenRG:
One possible outcome is that Yay does some deep diving and finds some pictures from Bubbles's unit of her with another soldier. A little email-hacking shows that, yes, they were in a relationship and, yes, they are now KIA. After asking Faye, Bubbles asks for their details and the last strip in the arc is Bubbles and Faye at Arlington, putting some flowers on a grave.
Maybe, as Faye lays her flowers, she says something like: "You can trust me, buddy. I'll look after her; I swear it."
Case:

--- Quote from: immortalfrieza on 26 May 2020, 21:53 ---It could be worse Faye. Bubbles could have a significant other who is still alive and had Bubbles just up and disappear one day due to her PTSD mental breakdown and Bubbles having forgotten they existed.

That's pretty much what several of us were saying last week. Faye's fear is centred on the idea that if she isn't Bubbles' first love, there could be someone waiting in the wings to come back in and take Bubbles from her.
--- End quote ---
Uhmmmmmh - Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that Bubbles' memories were gone, kaput, irreplaceably lost? So if a former soulmate turns up, Bubbles might be prone to feel attracted to them, but she wouldn't experience the complex network of memories and emotions we call love?
TL;DR - Even if a former lover would still be alive, Bubbles' love for them would still be dead as a doornail?

I know that, you know that, but Faye hasn't had the best of luck with romance and is likely to look at the worst case scenario.

Well, so far I don't get that. Based on Faye's statements in this comic she's worried that Bubbles might have an earlier love out there who is dead and she, whether Bubbles realizes it or not, is just a replacement. As far as Faye has shown the idea that there could be someone else out there who loves Bubbles and is alive doesn't seem to have occurred to her... yet.

The "just here / default" insecurity was a factor when my last SO left because my dating history was small enough she did not feel the pool was large enough to be considered the one-in-a-million.
