• Credence is obviously very much emotionally and mentally unstable. He’s been abused, both physically and mentally, for years now with Mary Lou.
• Which means it would take time for him to heal, to become a happy, powerful wizard he is. (DONT EVEN ARGUE WITH ME HERE HES ALIVE)
• But he goes to live with Newt, and Newt finally finds a little two room flat to live in as he cares for Credence. (If he’s being honest, they end up spending more time in the suitcase than in the actual flat because credence is so fascinated by the creatures and he loves their uncomplex nature.)
• And Credence has this little habit of shutting himself in a room/corner/isolated space when he gets post traumatic flashbacks and such.
• It’s always been very terrible for both Newt and Credence, Credence because he’s having to relive those awful, horrid moments and Newt because he hates seeing this abused boy suffer so much.
• But one day, while newt is out, Credence begins to start recalling Mary Lou and how Grindelwald manipulated him and everything – but then, he remembers about the creatures. (He was always too afraid of hurting something if he went down there).
• But a couple hours later, when Newt comes back, scarf bundled around his neck and coat drawn around him tightly (“It’s absolutely freezing out there! I told you you should’ve stayed home, Pickett.”)
• And the realisation that Credence isn’t there to welcome him with his shy little smile and maybe, on good days, a hug, just hits Newt.
• So he rushes everywhere and begins looking for him and starts to assume the worst.
• When suddenly, he has the thought to go down into the suitcase and finds Credence, surrounded by all sorts of creatures who absolutely adore him.
• And credence just turns around and gives Newt the biggest smile he’s ever seen.
• And yeah I feel very strongly about Credence Barebone
